Nanophotonic and Optical Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

The rapidly growing demands of modern technologies in globally important applications, such as communication infrastructure, data processing and information storage, biomedical diagnostics and super-imaging, have launched a race for materials with highly tunable and controllable optical response in subwavelength dimensions. Recent progress in nanotechnologies and manufacturing permits fabricating artificial nanostructures with pre-engineered properties exhibiting strong light-matter interaction. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances in nanophotonics and material science, including developments of nanomaterials and smart nanoscale designs which bring disruptively new opportunities to control light and could have important implications for novel photonic metadevices operating beyond the diffraction limit. We also welcome contributions studying resonant effects with nanostructures, optical nonlinearities, interaction of photons with nanostructured media, topological and quantum states of light.

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.
