26. Random symmetry breaking can be experimentally addressed by using smoother thick-shelled nanoparticles, assembling nanoparticles with atomically smooth facets such as crystalline nanocubes, or assembling clusters with larger gap sizes, which would effectively reduce gap geometry variation (but at the expense of total mode strength).
