Metamagnetics with rainbow colors

Opt Express. 2007 Mar 19;15(6):3333-41. doi: 10.1364/oe.15.003333.

Abstract

A family of coupled nanostrips with varying dimensions is demonstrated exhibiting optical magnetic responses across the whole visible spectrum, from red to blue. We refer to such a phenomenon as rainbow magnetism. The experimental and analytical studies of such structures provide us with a universal building block and a general recipe for producing controllable optical magnetism for various practical implementations.
