(a), (b) are Fig. 2 (e), (f) from main text. (c), (d) σ1,2 at 16 K being fit with 2 Drude + 2 Lorentzian model from (20) with the Lorentzians centered at 51 THz (low freq) and 120 THz (high freq). The equivalence of the two methods can be quantified by comparing the fit parameters of the two models. For our model (at 16 K) the narrow Drude has a scattering rate and spectral weight of Γ ≈ 1.2 THz and S ≈ 1.9 mΩ−1 cm−1 THz where as the broad Drude (σ0) has a scattering rate and spectral weight orders of magnitude higher than the narrow Drude which we quantified by its DC intercept of σ0 ≈ 1 mΩ−1 cm−1. The fit parameters from the two Lorentzian fit are qualitatively equivalent. The narrow Drude from the Lorentzian fit is parameterized by ΓNarrow ≈ 0.9 THz and SNarrow ≈ 1.5 mΩ−1 cm−1 THz. While the broad Drude from the two Lorentzian fit is parameterized by a DC intercept of σ0 ≈ 1.2 mΩ−1 cm−1.
