Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With a growing emphasis, we find ourselves surrounded by the multifaceted contributions of nanomaterial research, showcasing innovations in diverse forms such as plasmonic nanoparticles, quantum dots, and metamaterials. From enhancing solar cell efficiency to enabling high-resolution biomedical imaging, the pivotal role of light–matter interaction in nanomaterials harnesses unique optical properties at the nanoscale. Consequently, current research has unveiled new avenues for transformative applications of optically functional nanomaterials, serving as the cornerstone of progress and promising a bright future for biosensing, optical communication, cloaking, super-resolution imaging, and quantum optics.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Optically Functional Nanomaterials,” aims to cover recent advances in the development and application of light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. Topics include, but are not limited to, methods and/or applications in the following areas:
- Quantum optics;
- Biosensing;
- Terahertz generation/detection;
- Super-resolution imaging;
- Plasmonics;
- Biomedical imaging;
- Quantum/optical communication;
- Metamaterials.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
