Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although we have yet to tame the elusive part of the electromagnetic spectrum that lies between high-frequency microwaves and the far infrared, recent advances are helping to close this so-called terahertz gap. Much of the progress in this area over the last few years is due, in part, to nanoscale materials. Significant advances have been demonstrated in terahertz generation, detection, and imaging, but the areas of terahertz plasmonics, photonics, and metamaterials are growing rapidly. Terahertz spectroscopy is also a maturing technology, and has proved to be invaluable for studying vibrational kinetics in biomolecules and solid-state materials, low-energy electron dynamics, and electrical/optical properties of nanomaterials. The purpose of this special issue is to highlight recent progress in terahertz science and applications with an emphasis on the role of nanoscale materials in enabling these advances. All related topics are welcome, from charge carrier dynamics to THz microscopy to THz signal modulation for communication, and I look forward to your contribution.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
