Effect of the semiconductor microinclusion size on the electric and magnetic Mie coefficients. Mie coefficients a n and b n as a function of wavelength λ for spherical microinclusions of (a,b) Si, (c,d) Ge, (e,f) PbS and (g,h) InAs for particle diameters d corresponding to \({Q}_{{\rm{sca}}}^{{\rm{\max }}}\) and g min respectively as shown in Fig. 2. The vertical green arrows indicate the bandgap wavelengths λ bg. Open and closed symbols denote features in a n and b n respectively. An increase in the microinclusion size d is accompanied by a strengthening of the magnetic modes b n .
