Magneto-optical effects from nanoparticles enhanced by Mie resonances

Summary form only given. Control of light by an external magnetic field is one of the important methods for modulation of its intensity and polarization. Magneto-optical effects at the nanoscale are usually observed in nanostructured hybrid materials or magnetoplasmonic crystals. In this work, we combine the advantages of all-dielectric resonant nanostructures and magnetic materials for creating compact active magneto-optical metadevices. High-index nanostructures offer novel opportunities for controlling light at the nanoscale based on a strong localization of both electric and magnetic fields in such structures near the corresponding Mie resonance [1]. This fact makes them similar to plasmonic nanostructures with clear advantage that all-dielectric meta-optics structures composed of nanoparticles with high refractive index can overcome this limit and initiate a new platform for nanophotonic metadevices [2]. As the important next step in this field, we consider a control of optical properties by an applied magnetic field, known to be an effective tool for many plasmonic structures [3, 4].
