Impelled by the need to find solutions to new challenges of modern technologies new
materials with unique properties are being explored. Among various new materials that …

Ferrofluids investigated along for about five decades are ultrastable colloidal suspensions of
magnetic nanoparticles, which manifest simultaneously fluid and magnetic properties. Their …

Magnetodielectric small spheres present unusual electromagnetic scattering features,
theoretically predicted a few decades ago. However, achieving such behaviour has …

In recent years, ferrofluid has emerged as a new class of'smart nanofluid,'whose properties
are controllable by an external magnetic field. It is well known for its unique property of …

A few decades ago, Kerker et al.[J. Opt. Soc. Am. 73, 765-767 (1983)] theoretically pointed
out the interesting possibility of conceiving small magnetodielectric spheres that may …

Recently, the magneto-optical properties of magnetic nanofluids have received increasing
attention due to their wide range of applications in solar energy conversions and also as …

Mechanism of structure formation in bidispersed colloids is important for its physical and
optical properties. It is microscopically observed that the mechanism of chain formation in …

The near-zero forward intensity condition for light scattering by a dielectric dipolar sphere is
usually associated with the generalized second Kerker condition, at which equal amplitude …

A key quantity in the design of plasmonic antennas and metasurfaces, as well as
metamaterials, is the electrodynamic polarizability of a single scattering building block. In …

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) …
