Doctoral thesis presented for the grade of Philosophiæ Doctor (Ph.D.) in Condensed Matter Physics.The works presented in this PhD thesis consist of two of the main subjects which I was especially interested. The first part deals with electronic excitations, energy loss and electronic emission in the interaction of charged particles with metallic materials. The second part is focused on a method for calculating surface plasmon modes, including sharp surfaces (wedge, corners, ..).Peer reviewe
