This study presents the first experimental demonstration of directional visible light scattering by spherical silicon nanoparticles. The unique optical properties arise from the simultaneous excitation and interference of electric and magnetic dipole resonances within a single nanoparticle. This behavior is similar to Kerker's-type scattering by hypothetical magneto-dielectric particles. The scattering pattern is strongly dependent on the wavelength and nanoparticle size, with forward-to-backward scattering ratios exceeding six for nanoparticles between 100 and 200 nm. These nanoparticles exhibit properties similar to 'Huygens' sources, making them promising for designing low-loss visible and telecom-range metamaterials and nanoantenna devices. The research demonstrates that silicon nanoparticles can control visible light at the nanoscale, which is crucial for future light-on-chip integration. Resonant plasmonic structures are promising solutions for this, but silicon nanoparticles offer advantages due to their lower losses. Theoretical models using Mie theory show that silicon nanoparticles can have strong dipole-like resonances in the visible range, with both electric and magnetic dipole resonances occurring simultaneously. This leads to directional scattering patterns that depend on wavelength, with some wavelengths causing strong forward scattering and others strong backward scattering. The study also shows that silicon nanoparticles can act as 'Huygens' sources, scattering light predominantly in the forward direction. This is achieved through the interference of electric and magnetic dipole resonances. The results are supported by experimental data showing strong anisotropy in scattering directions and spectral ranges where forward scattering dominates. The findings demonstrate that silicon nanoparticles can be used to control light direction based on size and wavelength, making them suitable for nanoantenna and metamaterial applications. The research was conducted using femtosecond laser ablation to produce silicon nanoparticles of various sizes. Dark-field microscopy and spectroscopy were used to analyze the scattering properties. The results show that silicon nanoparticles exhibit unique optical properties, with strong magnetic and electric dipole scattering. The study also highlights the importance of nanoparticle shape and size in determining scattering behavior, with spheroidal shapes showing different scattering characteristics compared to spherical shapes. The findings demonstrate that silicon nanoparticles can be used to create directional light scattering, which has potential applications in optical devices and metamaterials. The study provides experimental evidence of Kerker-type scattering by silicon nanoparticles, showing that they can scatter light in specific directions depending on wavelength and size. This research contributes to the understanding of optical properties of silicon nanoparticles and their potential applications in nanophotonics.This study presents the first experimental demonstration of directional visible light scattering by spherical silicon nanoparticles.
