We explore the collective electromagnetic response in atomic clusters of various sizes and geometries. Our aim is to understand, and hence to control, their dielectric response, based on a fully quantum-mechanical description which captures accurately their relevant collective modes. The electronic energy levels and wave functions, calculated within the tight-binding model, are used to determine the non-local dielectric response function. It is found that the system shape, the electron filling and the driving frequency of the external electric field strongly control the resonance properties of the collective excitations in the frequency and spatial domains. Furthermore, it is shown that one can design spatially localized collective excitations by properly tailoring the nanostructure geometry.
