The Carminati model

These equations have been also obtained by Carminati et al. [17] and directly show a d dependence at large nanoparticle-molecule distances. In the Carminati model the metal nanosphere is considered as a point-like (located in rp) polarizable entity with polarizability (i.e. due to radiative damping, see Sec. 1.6.4). Thus
