Bulk plasmons

e
n em
A plasmon is a collective oscillation of the conduction electrons
Bulk plasmon: The rigid displacement of the electrons induces a dipolar moment and an electric field opposing the displacement
(t):
All the electrons are involved in the oscillation. The energy of those oscillations in typical metals might be triggered out by external probes.

However, higher multipoles in the quasistatic limit are negligible compared to the dipole contribution (l=1)

Mie-theory
Mie-theory is an electrodynamic theory for optical properties of spherical particles. The solution is divided into two parts: the elctromagnetic one which is treated from first principles (Maxwell equations) and the material problem with is solved by using phenomenological dielectric functions taken from experiments or model calculations
