Clusters of solid state densities can form nano plasmas after laser irradiation with intensities of 1013 − 1016 Wcm−2. Optical properties of plasmas are related to correlation functions, see [1]. A restricted MD simulations scheme for finite systems is introduced in [2], answering the question of local thermal equilibrium of electrons inside a cluster after laser irradiation. Plasma properties like temperature and density are discussed, see [3]. Investigations of dynamical correlations for finite systems via restricted MD simulations are presented. Collective electron excitation modes are analysed using spherical harmonics. The spatially resolved momentum auto-correlation spectrum is interpreted in terms of collective electron excitation modes. Resonance frequencies are calculated and damping rates are discussed. Size effects of dynamical properties are investigated.
