Abstract
The time-dependent local density approximation is applied to the optical response of the silver clusters, Ag_2, Ag_3, Ag_8 and Ag_9^+. The calculation includes all the electrons beyond the closed-shell Ag^{+11} ionic core, thus including for the first time explicitly the filled d-shell in the response. The excitation energy of the strong surface plasmon near 4 eV agrees well with experiment. The theoretical transition strength is quenched by a factor of 4 with respect to the pure s-electron sum rule in Ag_8 due to the d-electrons. A comparable amount of strength lies in complex states below 6 eV excitation. The total below 6 eV, about 50% of the s sum rule, is consistent with published experiments.
