The directionality and polarization of light show peculiar properties when the scattering by a dielectric sphere can be described exclusively by electric and magnetic dipolar modes. Particularly, when these modes oscillate in-phase with…
With theoretical analyses and numerical calculations, we show that a passive scatterer at the sub-wavelength scale can simultaneously exhibit both nearly zero forward scattering (NZFS) and nearly zero backward scattering (NZBF). It is…
Optical properties of nonmagnetic structures that support artificial optically-induced magnetic responses have recently attracted surging interest. Here we conduct symmetry-dictated investigations into scattering properties of nonmagnetic…
High-refractive index dielectric nanoparticles may exhibit strong directional forward light scattering at visible and near-infrared wavelengths due to interference of simultaneously excited electric and magnetic dipole resonances. For a…
For passive electromagnetic scatterers, we explore a variety of extreme limits on directional scattering patterns in phase diagram, regardless of details on the geometric configurations and material properties. By demonstrating the…
High refractive index dielectric particles present unique light scattering properties in the spectral range dominated by electric and magnetic dipolar resonances. These properties are absent in non-resonant low-index particles due to the…
The optical theorem relates the total scattering cross-section of a given structure with its forward scattering, but does not impose any restrictions on other directions. Strong backward-forward asymmetry in scattering could be achieved by…
We study scattering phenomena such as the Kerker effect, superscattering, and scattering dark states in a subwavelength atomic antenna consisting of atoms with only electric dipole transitions. We show that an atomic antenna can exhibit…
We establish a relationship between the electric magnetic dipole interaction force from a plane wave on a small magnetodielectric particle, the transport cross-section and the scattering asymmetry parameter, g. In this way, we predict…
We present a linear coordinate transform to expand the solution of scattering and emission problems into a basis of forward and backward directional vector harmonics. The transform provides intuitive algebraic and geometric interpretations…
High refractive index dielectric spheres present remarkable light-scattering properties in the spectral range dominated by dipolar modes. However, most of these properties are absent for larger spheres under plane wave illumination. Here,…
We achieve unidirectional forward superscattering by multilayered spherical cavities which are effectively radially anisotropic. It is demonstrated that, relying on the large effective anisotropy, the electric and magnetic dipoles can be…
We show that submicron Silicon spheres, whose polarizabilities are completely given by their two first Mie coefficients, are an excellent laboratory to test effects of both angle-suppressed and resonant differential scattering cross…
Understanding radiative transfer in random media like micro/nanoporous and particulate materials, allows people to manipulate the scattering and absorption of radiation, as well as opens new possibilities in applications such as imaging…
The far-field back-scattering amplitude of an electric field from a relativistically-moving sphere is analyzed. Contrary to prior research, we do so by expressing the fields in the helicity basis, and we highlight here its advantages when…
Effects of the backward scattering with large momentum transfer are examined in two-dimensional electron system with a special emphasis on electrons around ($\pi$,0), (0,$\pi$). The phase diagram is shown in the plane of temperature $T$ and…
This paper presents and discusses the conditions for zero electromagnetic scattering by electrically small particles. We consider the most general bi-anisotropic particles, characterized by four dyadic polarizabilities and study the case of…
Two conditions on symmetries are identified as necessary for a linear scattering system to be able to rotate the linear polarisation of light: Lack of at least one mirror plane of symmetry and electromagnetic duality symmetry. Duality…
We demonstrate that electric-dipole scatterers can mimic chiral light-matter interaction by generating far-field circular polarization upon scattering, even though the optical chirality of the incident field as well as that of the scattered…
The results of the mean field studies on the effects of the backward scattering with large momentum transfer in a two-dimensional electron system are extended to the case with various types of the Fermi surface and coupling constants. It is…
