title = "Computational plasmonics with applications to bulk and nanosized systems",
abstract = "We present the main features of first principles numerical methods to describe plasmonic excitations in bulk and nanosized materials, and we apply these methods to a number of bulk and lower-dimensional nanosystems. Our main focus lies on graphene, which is an interesting numerical and experimental paradigm to study plasmonic excitations in a nanosystem with anisotropic and lossy dielectric functions. Beyond graphene we also discuss plasmonic excitations in similar two-dimensional nanosystems. In order to analyse more complex collective excitations of the electron gas in nanosystems, we take advantage of a fundamental relation between density fluctuations and the electron energy loss spectra (EELS), and suggest a general method to study noise in nanosystems.",
