Fano resonances are induced in arrays of two asymmetric metallic nanodimers coupled to a metallic layer through an intermediate insulator thin film. The resulting moderate resonant peaks shown in the scattering spectrum are predicted to play a dominant role in light-trapping enhancementenMetamaterials; Surface plasmons; Resonance; Scattering; Metallic, opaque, and absorbing coatings.Article
