Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The era of nanoelectronics has arrived. However, when device size enters the nanoscale, traditional device theory and modeling methods are not applicable. The more significant quantum tunneling, quasi-ballistic transport, and hot carrier effects in nanodevices need to be described and modeled with quantum mechanical methods. Therefore, in recent years, theoretical and modeling work on nanoelectronic devices has received extensive attention and made important developments. As one of the strongest forms of interaction between light and matter, plasmon has found many high-tech applications in the fields of optoelectronics and nanoscale light sources. Due to their peculiar properties, the combination of plasmon and traditional devices or new, developing plasmon-based strategies has reshaped the development of the related fields.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with the latest progress in the field, including the theory and modeling of nanoelectronic or plasmonic devices. You are welcome to submit your original research or comprehensive review articles covering the Special Issue topics. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Tunneling-based nanoelectronic devices;
- Hot carrier-based nanoelectronic devices;
- Quantum transport process in nanoelectronic devices;
- Plasmon-enhanced detectors;
- Plasmon-enhanced solar cells;
- Plasmon-enhanced photocatalysis;
- Plasmon-based light sources;
- Plasmon-based sensors and other applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
