Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, graphene has emerged as a versatile material for a broad range of device applications. In particular, the high carrier mobility, large carrier density and tunability are appealing material properties for optoelectronic devices, including photodetectors, optical modulators and high frequency generators. Graphene-based nanostructures can also support surface plasmon excitations with exceedingly high field confinement and enhancement in the mid-infrared to terahertz spectral region, which can lead to drastically enhanced light-matter interactions, benefiting various device applications. The capability to achieve tunable strong light-matter interactions also makes graphene plasmonic structures suitable for realizing high-performance sensors and tunable metamaterials/metasurfaces. The 2D nature of graphene and the straightforward transfer process make graphene compatible with a wide range of materials in nanofabrication processes. Therefore, graphene-based structures and devices can be integrated on different technology platforms, such as silicon photonics and III-V semiconductor heterostructures, to improve the performances of existing devices and systems as well as enable new functionalities.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims at establishing a comprehensive and balanced collection of works which embodies the current active research on graphene-based optoelectronic and plasmonic devices, with the goal of encompassing the state-of-the-art developments for all different types of devices within the scope of this Special Issue. We encourage researchers working in the above mentioned and related areas to submit papers to join contributions from leading research groups.
Manuscripts accepted by this Special Issue will be published on a rolling basis. On average, manuscripts submitted to Nanomaterials receive the first-round peer review decision in approximately 15.8 days after the submission, and acceptance to publication is undertaken in 34 days.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
