Abstract
Collective surface electronic excitations on Ag(111) and Ag(110) have been studied by energy-loss-spectroscopy LEED. The data allow separati on of the contribution to the loss intensity due to monopole and to mu ltipole surface plasmons, thus demonstrating the existence of the latt er mode also on noble-metal surfaces. Multipole plasmons are therefore a general property of the optical response of metal surfaces whenever the charge-density profile at the interface is not too abrupt.
