57. Dipole-dipole interaction that decays algebraically with interparticle distance largely dominates here over other coupling mechanisms between the nanoparticles, such as tunneling of electrons [see K. J. Savage, M. M. Hawkeye, R. Esteban, A. G. Borisov, J. Aizpurua, and J. J. Baumberg, Nature (London) 491, 574 (2012)]. At the frequencies of relevance for our analysis, electron ionization is irrelevant and each nanoparticle keeps a fixed number of electrons. NATUAS 0028-0836 10.1038/nature11653
