Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interaction between matter and external fields results in a wide range of exotic quantum phenomena involving a rich dynamical interplay of electrons, protons, and photons. These interactions can lead to the formation of new quasiparticles such as exciton–polaritons, plasmon–polaritons, phonon–polaritons, and plexitons, each of them with distinct properties. In recent years, there have been continuous efforts to understand such emergent properties using a wide variety of tailored fields, including static electric fields, optical near fields, lasers, and confined electromagnetic fields (e.g., optical and optomechanical cavities), as well as use them to manipulate matter's physical, optical, chemical, and transport properties. However, many of these phenomena remain to be fully understood and may have untapped potential for novel technologies.
In this regard, mechanistic insights obtained through theoretical or computational investigations may provide new strategies to engineer materials or even new quantum devices. This Special Issue focuses on theoretical investigations of matter (atoms/molecules/materials) under static electric fields, intense lasers, plasmonic, or confined electromagnetic fields.

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. Atoms 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 1500 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
