The problem of electromagnetic plane wave scattering by a layered nanoparticle with a metal plasmon shell deposited on the surface of a transparent substrate is considered. Using the Discrete Source Method, the influence of spatial nonlocality in a metal layer on the near-field intensity and absorption cross section is investigated. The particle excitation by both a propagating and evanescent wave are considered. It is shown that the substrate has a more significant effect on the optical characteristics of the near field than on the intensity in the far zone. It was found that taking into account the nonlocal effect in the metal leads to a significant decrease in the plasmon resonance amplitude with a small blue shift.
The problem of diffraction of an electromagnetic plane wave field on a core-shell nanoparticle composed of two plasmon metals is considered. The effect of spatial dispersion in metals on the absorption cross section is investigated on the basis of the Discrete Sources method. Various combinations of core and shell metals: Au@Ag and Ag@Au of spheroidal particles, as well as the effect of elongation and asymmetry of particle geometry on energy absorption are being studied. It was found that taking into account the spatial
dispersion, both in the core and in the shell, leads to a significant decrease in the absorption cross section and a shift of the plasmon resonance to the shorter wavelength region.
