a Photograph of bulk Galinstan droplet maintaining a liquid phase well at room temperature. b Real and (c) imaginary part of the dielectric constant of Galinstan, Ag, and Au. d TEM of GNAs. e Corresponding size distribution counting of GNAs (Inset: Magnified TEM for single Galinstan nanodroplet. The dashed line notes the boundary of Ga2O3 shell). f Experimental and simulated visible-infrared absorption spectra of GNAs. g Top panels: experimental SSPM diffraction ring patterns from the GNA dispersion for n2 measurement. Bottom panels: numerical simulations based on Kirchhoff’s diffraction integral. h Comparison of n2 between GNAs and typical reported nanomaterials extracted from SSPM measurement.
