• ]: and It is worth noting that substrates with thin Au layers exhibit the highest absorbance; the optical data for glass substrates with 100 nm thick Au layers, in turn, correspond to the bulk values of Au [32]. For comparison, the 1/e penetration depth of bulk Au at a wavelength of 532 nm is about 18 nm

• (penetration depth, radius of the channel) and variable parameters (surface tension and contact angle) (Equation 4): were H is the final height of the liquid in the capillary. The values of the surface tension for all infiltrating liquids are all within the same order of magnitude. The values of contact angle
