If the electrons in a plasma are displaced from a uniform background of ions, electric fields will be built up in such a direction as to restore the neutrality of the plasma by pulling the electrons back to their original positions. Because of their inertia, the electrons will overshoot and oscillate around their equilibrium positions with a characteristic frequency known as the plasma frequency.

Plasmons
Plasmons in the bulk oscillate at ωp determined by the free electron density and effective mass
Plasmons confined to surfaces that can interact with light to form propagating “surface plasmon polaritons (SPP)”
Confinement effects result in resonant SPP modes in nanoparticles
