The scattering directionality is achieved by accomplishing Kerker's conditions. By directing the scattered light towards the gap of the dimer, interferential effects can be used to achieve high or low light intensities as a basis of all-optical nanoswitches. A comparison between dimers of different materials is shown.}, organization = {This work has been supported by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of Spain (grants no.
