摘要：

When a linear chain of plasmonic nanoparticles is subject to longitudinal magnetic field, it exhibits optical Faraday rotation. If the magnetized nanoparticles are plasmonic ellipsoids arranged as a spiral chain, the interplay between the Faraday rotation and the geometrical spiral rotation (structural chirality) can strongly enhance nonreciprocity. This interplay forms a waveguide that permits one-way propagation only, within four disjoint frequency bands, two bands for each direction.
