LSPR effect
LSPR is observed in the noble-metal NPs when the incident photon
frequency is resonant with the collective oscillation of the conduction
electrons confined in the volume of the NPs.

displacement of the electron charge cloud relative to the nuclei>
Non-spherical metallic NP
The surface plasmons are unevenly distributed around NP
