8. The Lorentzian expansion of the Au dielectric function used in the simulations was fitted to the experimental data given in P. B. Johnson and R. W. Christy, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 6, 4370 (1972). However to aid the code convergence, the imaginary part was increased, which leads to broader resonance peaks (inset in Fig.), as compared to those from the experiment (inset in Fig.). This purely numerical adjustment did not affect significantly the peak maxima locations, the main feature studied in this work. 10.1103/PhysRevB.6.4370
