 Another suspect is the voxel spacing. In the first tests for 5 nm and 10 nm voxel spacing the resulting diffraction maximum was nearly same when studied on PEC (less than 0.5 percent difference). In past we have however observed that the voxel spacing has an impact on the reflectance on real metals (not on PEC, which is ideal). Another suspect is the voxel spacing.

-Here, in a quick check, for the fitted model we get reflectances of 0.959 for 10 nm voxel size, 0.962 for 5 nm voxel size and 0.958 for 2 nm voxel size, when roughly evaluated from the local fields. This means differences up to 1 percent. However, the difference between the expected value and the simulated value is about 15 percent. So, reflectance itself is probably also not the source of troubles.+Here, in a quick check, for the fitted model we get reflectances of 0.959 for 10 nm voxel size, 0.962 for 5 nm voxel size and 0.958 for 2 nm voxel size, when roughly evaluated from the local fields.
