Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in plasmonic nanostructures, with a particular emphasis on integrating 2D materials, cutting-edge sensing technologies, and sophisticated theoretical modeling. Plasmonics, at the intersection of nanotechnology, materials science, and optics, has enabled a range of applications in areas such as sensing, photonics, and energy harvesting. This Special Issue aims to bring together research on novel 2D plasmonic nanomaterials, advanced surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor designs, and theoretical approaches that push the boundaries of understanding and application.
This Special Issue invites cutting-edge research that bridges experimental, theoretical, and computational plasmonics, aiming to address the challenges and opportunities in designing next-generation plasmonic nanostructures.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Plasmonic nanostructures.
- 2D plasmonic materials.
- Surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
- Biosensing and chemical sensing.
- TDDFT (Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory).
- Random-phase approximation (RPA).
- Hybrid plasmonic systems.
- Theoretical and computational plasmonics.
- Energy harvesting.
- Semi-analytical plasmonic methods.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
