This example illustrates the use of a custom dielectric function
stored externally, which is interpolated by TERMS. We
compare the far-field cross-sections for a dimer of silver spheres,
using the built-in dielectric function of Ag (Drude model, from Etchegoin and
Le Ru), and that of Yang et al, Phys.
