Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoplasmonics takes advantage of the light coupling to electrons in metals, and can break the diffraction limit for light confinement into subwavelength zones allowing strong field enhancements. Moreover, in the last two decades, new instrumentation has been used for the characterization of plasmonic nanostructures such as new electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and cathodoluminescence. These techniques can map plasmon modes with excellent spatial resolution. This Special Issue is devoted to the recent advances and insights in this field, including plasmonic devices, non-linear plasmonics, chiral plasmonics, thermoplasmonics, plasmonic heating, quantum plasmonics, hot electrons, plasmonic biosensing, plasmonic photocatalysis, plasmon-enhanced fluorescence, and also in the use of electron energy loss spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence for plasmonic characterization. It is a pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Photonics 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 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.
