Abstract
It is experimentally proven that the size dependence of the surface pl asmon resonance of large spherical silver clusters is related to the s urface optical properties of Ag. It is also demonstrated that there is a minimum size, below which this approach fails as expected, and that there is a maximum size, above which the surface contribution can be neglected such that classical optics applies.
