Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plasmon-assisted functional optical devices are attracting increasing attention, and they have demonstrated great potential for comprehensive applications. Moreover, 2D material-enabled nanophotonics and electronics are emerging as an important candidate for next-generation integrated optoelectronics devices, because 2D materials possess appealing electrical and optical properties with the unique ability of manipulating light at the nanoscale. More importantly, novel optical components tend to be smaller and faster, and nanophotonics applications are vast, leading to new opportunities for future devices.
This Special Issue will offer a comprehensive selection of recent studies, and we invite researchers involved in the nanophotonics community to contribute original research papers or review articles to this Special Issue. Research domains may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Nanoplasmonics;
- 2D material-enabled optics;
- Quantum, nonlinear and nonlocal effects in plasmonic nanostructures;
- Metasurfaces;
- Nanoantennas and Mie resonators;
- Metamaterials, photonic crystals, and nanostructured gratings;
- Nanowaveguiding devices;
- Nanofabrication techniques;
- Single-photon sources;
- Lasers and applications;
- Fiber-optic gratings and applications;
- Ultra-fast photonics;
- Localized surface plasmons resonance sensors and other applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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 2900 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.
