  Achieving zero backward scattering (ZBS) and zero forward scattering (ZFS),
i.e., the so-called the first and second Kerker's conditions respectively, by
sphere spherical particles is considered to be impossible due to the
unavailability of naturally occurring magnetic materials in the visible
frequency range. We report theoretical modeling to design composite
metamaterials that present large optical magnetic permeability in the visible
frequency range by employing Mie scattering theory and extended Maxwell Garnett
theory. We numerically show that a careful selection of constituents of a
composite metamaterial one can obtain metamaterials with sufficiently large
artificial permeability that eventually provides the Kerker's criterion to
achieve the Kereker's conditions. By taking realistic material parameters we
demonstrate that the metamaterials exhibiting ZBS and ZFS have a small
imaginary part of the refractive index than metallic structures that pave a
path to design high-performance nanophotonic devices.
