In this paper, we propose a hybrid metallo-dielectric core-shell nanorod for the Kerker-type effect at two different frequencies. The effect arises from the interference of the scattering waves of the nanorod, which are generated by the magnetic dipole moment (MD) of the high-index hollow particle and the electric dipole moment (ED) induced in both metallic and dielectric particles. Interestingly, we find that such kind of unidirectional radiation properties, (i.e., zero back scattering occurring at dual frequencies) can be sustained with a single nanorod, which usually being equivalent to a local electric dipole source. The effect of substrate is also considered to investigate the typical experimental realization for the dual-frequency unidirectionalities of the nanoantenna. Furthermore, the unidirectionality can be further improved by the design of one-dimensional array of the hybrid nanoantenna. Our results could provide an additional degree of freedom for light scattering manipulation, and widen the versatile applications in nanoantennas, optical sensor, light emitters, as well as photovoltaic devices.
