Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magneto-plasmonic functionalities using dielectric, ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic, and the semiconductor material is a rapidly growing field with great potential for practical applications. It involves the interaction of magneto-optic materials such as nanoparticles, magnetic metamaterial, photonic crystals and grating structures on magnetic media, and ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic multilayer structures with the optical radiation and external magnetic fields at various wavelengths ranging from visible to infra-red. Depending on the dimension of the structure and interaction with the optical radiation, the field is classified as localized surface plasmon (LSP) or propagating surface plasmon (PSP). The LSP structures include varying sizes (holes, patterns, nanoparticles) each ranging from 1 to 100 nm, structures smaller than the wavelength of the optical radiation.
On the other hand, PSP structures include more extended sizes of LSP structures where the dimension of the structure is larger than the wavelength of the optical radiation. When tuned, both types of nanostructures demonstrate unique optical, electrical, and magnetic/magneto-optic properties that are in direct relationship to their size, shape, and surface chemistry. Because of these properties, magneto-optical materials are being extensively investigated for a possible application in medicine for sensing/diagnosing and treating diseases and with a potential to expand to other areas such as environmental monitoring, surveying, imaging, and many more to come.
The purpose of this special issue is to highlight the recent advances in the field of magnetoplasmonics. Topics covered include but not limited to:
- Theory and principle of magnetoplasmonics
- Theory and principle of magneto-optic surface plasmon resonance
- Synthesis of magnetoplasmonic core-shell nano-structured materials
- Theoretical modelling of magnetoplasmonics material
- Characterization of magnetoplasmonic materials

- Magnetoplasmonic nanocomposites, nanoparticles and nanocrystalline materials
- Si-based materials and magnetoplasmonics
- Magnetoplasmonic material-based biosensors, nanofluidic and nanofabrication
- Magnetoplasmonics and nanobiotechnology/nanobiomaterials and nanomedicine
- Magneto-optic surface plasmon resonance biosensors and potential applications
- Magnetoplasmonics materials for environmental monitoring, surveying, and imaging
- Photonic crystal based magnetoplasmonic devices

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. Condensed Matter is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
