In the dipole approximation for the spherical nickel nanoparticle with a diameter D0 = 2.5 ÷ 7 nm in the spectral range from 0.2 to 1.1 μm at T = 300 K, efficiency factors of the absorption Κa and scattering Κs were determined with the help of the experimental values of the complex specific electrical polarizability. Numerical calculations of the Κa and Κs of the nickel nanoparticles were carried out in accordance with the theories of classical and quantum dimensional effects. It was shown that it is impossible to explain the photoabsorption of nickel nanoparticles by the intraband (Drude) type of absorption even taking into account classical or quantum dimensional effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
