Abstract
We systematically analyzed the magnetodielectric resonances of Se colloids for the first time in an attempt to utilize them as building blocks for all-dielectric optical metafluids. By taking advantages of the synergistic properties of Se colloids, including their (i) highrefractive- index at optical frequencies, (ii) unprecedented structural uniformity, and (iii) ready availability, we were able to observe Kerker-type directional light scattering, resulting from the efficient coupling between strong electric and magnetic resonances, directly from Se colloidal suspensions. Thus, the use of Se colloids as a generic magnetodielectric building block suggests the opportunity for the production of fluidic low-loss optical antennas which can be processed via spin-coating and painting.
