Abstract
We investigate the interplay of shape changes and localized surface plasmons in small metal particles with the potential of a large enhancement of the inelastic signal from the particles’ own vibrations. The framework is a geometrical one where we study the change in geometric factors during the vibrational movement. The resulting cross-section is found to be of a detectable order of magnitude, however, much smaller than the elastic cross-section.
