Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a novel technique in the field of optics, surface plasmon resonance introduces a new avenue in the advancement of nanomaterials. By precisely adjusting the composition, morphology, and surrounding medium of nanoparticles, researchers can effectively modulate the plasmonic spectral response range of nanomaterials. The SPR-induced local electrical field enhancement, hot carrier generation, and plasmonic thermal effect can make significant differences in the behavior of light harvesting, fluorescence emission, optical scattering, etc. The development of plasmonic nanophotonics leads to a wide range of applications, including optical super-resolution imaging, display, biomedicine, photocatalysis, and so on.
This Special Issue aims to attract researchers from academia and industry to participate in this discussion, share their current knowledge of plasmonic nanomaterials, and provide new ideas for future applications and new technologies. Both reviews and original research papers that explore advances in plasmonic nanophotonics, from fundamentals to applications, will be included in this issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: nanophotonics, plasmon photonics, plasmonic nanomaterials, fluorescence enhancement, optical super-resolution imaging, optical sensing, photocatalysis, and biomedicine.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 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.
