The interaction of silicon (Si) nanospheres (NSs) with a thin metal film is investigated numerically and experimentally by characterizing their forward scattering properties. A sharp resonant mode and a zero-scattering dip are found to be introduced in the forward scattering spectrum of a Si NS by p...
