The current state of research on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with metallic nanoparticles and dispersed systems based on them is considered. Some numerical results on this subject, obtained in recent years, are analyzed. The results of investigations of the influence of the adsorption layer of a metal particle of spherical shape on the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules in an external electric field. Analyzed in this paper, the technique makes it possible to study the state of individual groups located on the surface of particles and their complexes. This is especially important, since a huge number of processes occur precisely at the phase boundary
