26. For the sphere discretization, we typically use grid sizes with 20 azimuthal angles, 5-10 polar angles for each layer of the tunneling material, and 20 polar angles for the remaining sphere. The ribbons of the onionlike tunnel materials have about 10 discretization points along the nanoparticle connection. We perform refined boundary element integrations using the mnpbem toolbox [20], and checked the convergence of our simulations by systematically increasing the number of discretization points.
