Large, polarization-dependent splittings arise from the broken symmetry of hemispherical gallium nanoparticles on sapphire substrates, inducing strong interactions with the substrate that depend sensitively on the angle of illumination and the nanoparticle diameter.}, organization = {The authors, especially B.G., would all like to thank USAITC-A for its funding through project R&D 1390-PH-01.
