Figure 6.

Influence of disorder inside single particle (A) and dimer (B) chains with 10 repeat units: extinction spectra for randomly varied gap sizes (gray), averaged spectra (red/blue), and constant 1.5 nm gap size (green) are plotted next to the corresponding statistical distributions of the gap size. The position of the superradiant mode is correlated to the amount of disorder and allows estimating the gap size inside the fabricated single particle (C) and dimer (D) chains. All spectra were calculated using GMMT.
