Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optoelectronics and photonics devices employ well-designed micro/nanoscale structures to intentionally manipulate their electrical and optical properties, which results in the obtainment of desirable performances. Hence, micro/nano-structured optoelectronics and photonics devices have been gaining interest in the scientific community and showcase many commercial potentials, including lighting, imaging, photovoltaics, optical communication, photodetection, and biomedical imaging. For instance, photodetectors incorporated with metal nanorods employ the surface plasmonic effect to delocalize the electric field, which facilitates the carrier dissociation and thus leads to improved responsivity. A metasurface that depicts a layer of subwavelength-scale nanostructures shows the strong capability of tuning light–matter interaction and thus performs versatile functions in photonics and optics. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks research papers and review papers on the experimental and modeling advancements in micro/nano-structured optoelectronics and photonics devices, including LEDs, solar cells, photodetectors, metasurfaces, waveguides, lasers, and flat optics devices. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, nanomaterials, micro/nanostructures, nanofabrication, micro/nanodevices and applications, and simulation.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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.
