(color online) ((a)–(d)) The optical cross sections each as a function of for spherical nanoparticles with , and , respectively. Here the radius of the particle is R = 65.1 nm and the permittivity used in the Drude model is . The inset in panel (d) shows at the critical point. Abbreviations for resonances: , electric dipole; , electric quadrupole; , electric octupole; , electric hexadecapole.
