Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Plasmonic and photonic materials, structures and phenomena have received a lot of attention due to their extraordinary properties, including the control and manipulation of light and other electromagnetic modes and radiation. With the maturity that this field has attained and the knowledge gained, researchers are starting to investigate plasmonic and photonic crystal phenomena in novel, exotic or hybrid materials and/or structures, as well as metamaterials, metasurfaces, and other periodically patterned structures. Such structures include layered materials where the precise control of plasmonic dispersion curves is desired, hybrid plasmonic/photonic crystal hybrid structures with prescribed electromagnetic properties, plasmonic effects in doped oxides, plasmonic effects at size-scales heretofore not considered, and in general, novel effects within periodically patterned materials.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Prof. David T. Crouse

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.
