Nitzan and Brus developed an analytical formula for the molecular absorption cross section given the model defined above [14]. Figure 9.2 is taken fi"om Ref. [13] and shows the calculated absorption cross section based on the model associated with the photodissociation of I2. (The I2 formed through the absorption process is very short lived.) Photodissociation predicted to be enhanced as the molecule is placed near a silver metal nanoparticle of radius a - 50 nm near the electronic transition resonance position of cat) 22,200 cm . If e eiai(co) is the dielectric fiinction for the metal, a small metal nanoparticle plasmon in air will have its dipolar surface plasmon resonance at frequency <24 such that [1]... 

Kidd, Lennon and Meech [26] also studied the related process of photodesorption, finding that the photodesorption cross sections for NO and SO2 also exhibited peaks near the small particle surface plasmon resonance for silver. For an earlier study that also presents evidence for surface plasmon induced desorption, in this case desorption of atoms from the metal nanoparticles (composed of sodium) themselves, see Ref [27]. The review article by Watanabe et al. [12] also discusses some more recent results on plasmon induced desorption.

Metal nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest due to their properties and applications related to size effects, which can be appropriately studied in the framework of nanophotonics [1]. Metal nanoparticles such as silver, gold and copper can scatter light elastically with remarkable efficiency because of a collective resonance of the conduction electrons in the metal (i.e., the Dipole Plasmon Resonance or Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance). Plasmonics is quickly becoming a dominant science-based technology for the twenty-first century, with enormous potential in the fields of optical computing, novel optical devices, and more recently, biological and medical research [2]. In particular, silver nanoparticles have attracted particular interest due to their applications in fluorescence enhancement [3-5].
