  Hybrid nanophotonics based on metal-dielectric nanostructures unifies the
advantages of plasmonics and all-dielectric nanophotonics providing strong
localization of light, magnetic optical response and specifically designed
scattering properties. Here we demonstrate a novel approach for fabrication of
ordered hybrid nanostructures via femtosecond laser melting of asymmetrical
metal-dielectric (Au-Si) nanoparticles created by lithographical methods. The
approach allows selective reshaping of the metal components of the hybrid
nanoparticles without affecting dielectric ones. We apply the developed
approach for tuning of the hybrid nanostructures scattering properties in the
visible range. The experimental results are supported by molecular dynamics
simulation and numerical solving of Maxwell equations.
