In this Letter, we spectrally tune the electric and magnetic resonances by varying the geometry of a single isolated lead telluride （PbTe） dielectric nanocube. Then, we overlap the electric dipole resonance and magnetic dipole resonance to suppress backward scattering and enhance forward scattering in the resonance region. Furthermore, a broadband unidirectional scattering is achieved by structuring the dielectric nanocuboids as a trimer antenna.展开更多
