Fig. 6

The full absorbance in the top row of the colloidal crystals, synthesized with the experimental parameters in Table 1. Here, high- and low-energy, UV-IR peaks are pointed out by color big arrows. The curve color is the same for an individual sample as Raman intensity in Fig. 4. The color dotted lines in the middle row are the result of the deconvolution of the UV-IR peaks in splitting. In analogy with Fig. 5, FWHMs are plotted in the bottom row. The curve colors are the same as the arrow colors in the top row. The numerical simulations to absorbance for plasmon excitations under the appropriate parameter conditions (a) \({f}_{c}\)=0.43(black), 0.45(red), 0.47(navy), 0.49(cyan), 0.51(purple),0.53(orange), Λ = 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9,1.0, 1.1 at the fixed d = 6 nm and \({R}_{i}/{R}_{0}\simeq 0.69\), (b) \({f}_{c}\)=0.38(black), 0.40(red), 0.42(navy), 0.44(cyan), 0.46(purple), 0.48(orange), \({R}_{i}/{R}_{0}=\) 0.47, 0.54, 0.60, 0.66, 0.73, 0.79, d = 3.9, 4.2, 4.5, 4.8, 5.1, 5.4 at the fixed temperature Λ = 0.8 , corresponding to different excitations and the same, respectively.
