Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low dimensional materials are systems in which the electron wave function is confined at least in one of the three dimensions on the nanoscale range below approximately 100 nm. Hence, quantum size effects occur that significantly alter electronic and, consequently, optical properties.
Main material classes include 1-dimensional nanotubes and 2-dimensional nanosheets, both elemental (e.g., C, BP, Sb), organic, organometallic, and inorganic in composition. However, more complex 3-dimensional nanostructures are also currently emerging, such as nanostars, nanoprisms, and nanopyramids.
Effects and applications cover absorption, photoemission, scattering, nonlinear optics, ultrafast phenomena, photoconduction and photovoltaics, plasmonics, and lasing.
This Special Issue will address all topics related to this rapidly developing field, including computational science, synthesis and preparation, optical characterization, and particularly existing and emerging applications in optical, optoelectronic, and photonic areas. Both original research and review papers are welcome for possible publication.
Prof. Dr. Werner Blau

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.
