Abstract

The surface plasmon polariton scattering by nanoparticle was considered in the frame of approach based on the effective susceptibility concept. The main feature of the approach is taking into account the inhomogeneity of the local field at the nanoparticle. The inhomogeneity strongly influences on the effective susceptibility of the particle formation. The approach allowed to explain the nonmonotonic behavior of scattered field intensity at the detector placed in far zone on the distance between the particle and a surface obtained experimentally in reported earlier by other authors.
