Unidirectional superscattering by multilayered cavities of effective radial anisotropy

Wei Liu, Bing Lei, Jianhua Shi +1

We achieve unidirectional forward superscattering by multilayered spherical cavities which are effectively radially anisotropic. It is demonstrated that, relying on the large effec…

Elusive pure anapole excitation in homogenous spherical nanoparticles with radial anisotropy

Wei Liu, Bing Lei, Jianhua Shi +2

For homogenous isotropic dielectric nanospheres with incident plane waves, Cartesian electric and toroidal dipoles can be tunned to cancel each other in terms of far-field scatteri…
