The hydrodynamic model is used to calculate the excitation probability due to the surface and the volume plasmon of small diamond spheres. The theoretical approach incorporates an impact parameter ρ₀ and includes all multipole modes; it was first derived by Tran Thoai and Zeitler [Phys. Status Solidi A 107, 791 (1988)] who applied it to investigate small aluminum spheres. The aim of the present paper is to analyze the multipole modes in detail since certain aspects are screened out due to the large damping factor of a wide band-gap material like diamond. Various patterns will be revealed, thus simplifying computational attempts and enhancing the predictability of experimental results. It will finally be shown that using this model, it is possible to determine the grain size to an accuracy of about 1 {}.
