Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) are collective excitations of nearly free electrons in plasmonic nanomaterials, such as metal nanoparticles, and they are characterized by charge density oscillation over the whole system. LSPRs lead to strong optical response and enhanced electric near field around the structure, which has been utilized in numerous applications. This thesis focuses on plasmonic nanomaterials with features of a few nanometers size. The accurate description of the optical properties of such structures necessitates quantum mechanics. The main part of the thesis comprises on implementing computational tools for analyzing optically excited plasmon resonances and the associated electric near field enhancement in these...
