Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of nanophotonic materials and devices has seen rapid growth over the last two decades, with increasing attention from researchers all over the world. A series of photonic materials have been utilized to form functional photonic structures that break the diffraction limit after the discovery of photonic crystals. The further development of optical coupling theory and fabrication techniques facilitate photonic nanodevices with excellent performances, such as optical fibre systems, quantum communications, microresonators, plasmonics and metamaterials. This Special Issue aims to encompass recent significant studies and advances in the areas of nanophotonic materials and devices, including, but not limited to, waveguides, metasurfaces, luminescent materials, scintillation, photonic crystals, nanostructured optical materials, perovskite halide scintillators, perovskite photonics and optical sensors.
We cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue. Review articles, communications, and full-size research papers are all welcome.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
