Mie resonances in dielectric particles can increase the local optical density of states (LDOS) associated with either electric or magnetic transition rates in nearby quantum emitters without ohmic losses. Their rather large quality factors compensate their low field confinement as compared to the plasmon resonances of metallic nanostructures for which nonradiative decay channels dominate. We show theoretically that near-infrared quadrupolar magnetic resonances in silicon particles can preferentially
