Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interaction of light with matter comprises a wide range of phenomena, such as absorption, emission, diffraction, and reflection, which, if appropriately analyzed, provide a full spectrum of information about a material. Materials with at least one dimension below 100 nm, known as nanomaterials, behave significantly differently from bulk materials due to unique properties that cannot be observed in the related bulk materials but only at the nanoscale. Additionally, optical properties can be controlled by macroscopically assembling nano-objects. Exploring such properties allowed the advancement of many fields, including plasmonics, optoelectronics, photonics, sensing, nanomedicine, etc.
This Special Issue welcomes both original research papers and review papers on both fundamental science and applications on nanomaterials related to the following topics:
- Plasmonics
- Metamaterials
- Magnetic materials
- Nonlinear optical properties
- Bio-nanomaterials
- Theory and simulations
- Optical sensing
- Optoelectronics
- Photonics
- Nanomedicine

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
