Abstract
The optical properties of tetrahedral copper nanoparticles (Cu10-Cu120) are studied using density functional theory and the configuration interaction singles method. The excitation energies were calculated for tetrahedral copper nanoparticles with different charge states. The resulting absorption spectra revealed size-dependent red-shifting of the maximum peaks, consistent with experimental and theoretical observations of localized surface plasmon resonance.
