Abstract It is experimentally proven that the size dependence of the surface plasmon resonance of large spherical silver clusters is related to the surface 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.
