25. Refractive index was taken from published data for PEI [T. M. Madkour, in Polymer Data Handbook, edited by, J. E. Mark, (Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK, 1999), pp. 490-492]; absorption coefficient was determined from the ratio of the transmittance of the polymer between the glass slides to the transmittance of the bare glass slides without spacer.
26. The random phase approximation [J. Lindhard, Kgl. Danske Videnskab. Selskab Mat.-Fys. Medd. 28 (8) (1954)] was corrected for exchange

28. further improvement to include correlation [K. S. Singwi, M. P. Tosi, R. H. Land, and A. Sjölander, Phys. Rev. 176, 589 (1968)] 10.1103/PhysRev.176. 589
29. ITO should be corrected for a limited mean free path of the free electrons caused by the small particle size [U. Kreibig and M. Vollmer, Optical Properties of Metal Clusters (Springer, Berlin, Germany, 1995)], but this effect is believed to be minor since is as short as ∼5 nm in the infrared (though increasing progressively towards shorter wavelengths since screening of the tin ions then becomes less efficient).
30. -3 have been observed several times for ITO films; cf. C. G. Granqvist, Sol. Energy Mater. Sol. Cells 91, 1529 (2007). 10.1016/j.solmat.2007.04.031

32. Their approach relied on detailed calculations on the resonance frequencies for several geometrically well-defined entities comprised of identical spheres such as pairs, infinite single- and double strand chains, and a close-packed fcc lattice. It was used in earlier work on gas evaporated gold (Ref.), which is a three-dimensional composite of metal and air. In principle, higher order multipole effects might be needed in a more complete analysis [A. Pack, M. Hietschold, and R. Wannemacher, Opt. Commun. 194, 277 (2001)], 10.1016/S0030-4018(01)01310-4
33. but their effect is small since our ITO nanocrystals are separated from each other as inferred from recent work on samples similar to those studied in this Letter [R. J. Mengelsberg, G. Garcia, and D. J. Milliron, J. Appl. Phys. 111, 063515 (2012)]. 10.1063/1.3695996
