Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “New Advances in Photonic Materials and Devices”, will present a collection of high-quality original research papers as well as comprehensive reviews on the design, synthesis, growth, processing, characterization, demonstration, modelling, simulation, and applications of photonic materials and devices.

This Special Issue aims to highlight new understanding, new techniques, new results, new theories, and new innovative approaches as well as developments in all aspects of the design, fabrication, characterization, manipulation, and application of micro/nanostructures, metamaterials/metasurfaces, and devices as well as their integration into existing and emerging applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Properties, synthesis, growth, and characterization of micro/nanostructured materials.
  • Nanocrystals, nanowires, nanotubes, and nanobelts.
  • Metamaterials and metasurfaces.
  • Theoretical modelling and simulation.
  • Integrated photonics.
  • Light manipulation.
  • Light-emitting devices.
  • Photodetectors.
  • Modulators.
  • Sensors.
  • Solar cells.
  • Optoelectronic devices.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications, and reviews will be greatly appreciated.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.

We propose a novel micro-nano structure that can realize a photonic nanojet (PNJ) switch by adjusting the temperature, which is composed of a truncated cylinder coated with a thin vanadium dioxide (VO2) film. The influence of temperature on the maximum strength, full width at half maximum (FWHM), working distance, and focal length of the PNJ were studied by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The results demonstrate that the structure can adjust the open and close state of the PNJ by changing the temperature. A PNJ with varying characteristics can be obtained at both high and low temperatures, and the maximum intensity ratio of the PNJ can reach up to 7.25. This discovery provides a new way of optical manipulation, sensing and detection, microscopy imaging, optoelectronic devices, and other fields. Full article
