Tunable multiple Fano resonances in magnetic single-layered core-shell particles

Abstract

We investigate multiple Fano, comblike scattering resonances in single-layered, concentric core-shell nanoparticles composed of magnetic materials. Using the Lorenz-Mie theory, we derive, in the long-wavelength limit, an analytical condition for the occurrence of comblike resonances in the single scattering by coated spheres. This condition establishes that comblike scattering response uniquely depends on material parameters and thickness of the shell, provided that it is magnetic and thin compared to the scatterer radius. We also demonstrate that comblike scattering response shows up beyond the long-wavelength limit and it is robust against absorption. Since multiple Fano resonances are shown to depend explicitly on the magnetic permeability of the shell, we argue that both the position and profile of the comblike, morphology-dependent resonances could be externally tuned by exploiting the properties of engineered magnetic materials.
