Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials are known to have unique size-dependent optical properties. Due to the quantum confinement effect, nanomaterials have demonstrated the potential to bring significant progress with their application in photodetectors, LEDs, lasers, displays, energy generation and medical imaging.
The performance improvement of nanomaterials devices in photonics requires the development of advanced optical materials with improved characteristics such as low cost, simple operation, reduced size, fast response, high surface reactivity and rapid recovery. Different nanostructured and nanocomposite materials have been used in manufacturing photonic devices, including nano-wires, nano-dots, thin films, plasmonic nanomaterials, plasmonic glasses (with embedded metallic nanoparticles), hybrid nanostructures, and others.
Applied Sciences invites interested authors to submit papers for a Special Issue titled Recent Developments in the Application of Nanomaterials in Photonics. The papers should cover the recent experimental and fundamental concepts of photonics. The advanced nanomaterials should demonstrate good performance in photonics applications further to low cost and functionality preparation.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Semiconductor, oxide and metallic nanomaterials;
- Thin films;
- Nanocomposites;
- Plasmonic nanomaterials;
- Photonic Nanostructures;
- Plasmonic glasses;
- 2D-nanostructures;
- Carbon nanostructures.

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.
