Localized magnetic plasmons in all-dielectric mu<0 metastructures
  Metamaterials are known to exhibit a variety of electromagnetic properties non-existing in nature. We show that an all-dielectric (non-magnetic) system consisting of deep subwavelength, high permittivity resonant spheres possess effective negative magnetic permeability (dielectric permittivity being positive and small). Due to the symmetry of the electromagnetic wave equations in classical electrodynamics, localized "magnetic" plasmon resonances can be excited in a metasphere made of such metamaterial. This is theoretically demonstrated by the coupled-dipole approximation and numerically for real spheres, in full agreement with the exact analytical solution for the scattering process by the same metasphere with effective material properties predicted by effective medium theory. The emergence of this phenomenon as a function of structural order within the metastructures is also studied. Universal conditions enabling effective negative magnetic permeability relate subwavelength sphere permittivity and size with critical filling fraction. Our proposal paves the way towards (all-dielectric) magnetic plasmonics, with a wealth of fascinating applications.
