Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Photoluminescence in Nanosized Systems", is related to designing, synthesizing, and investigating the photoluminescent properties of new nanosized systems, including phosphates, oxides, or metallic particles, and creating periodically ordered nanostructures based on single nanoparticles.
A small particle size implies high sensitivity and selectivity. These new properties are mainly due to the quantum impacts arising from the increasing surface-to-volume ratio in atoms in low-dimensional systems. An essential factor in this context so far has been the design and fabrication of nanosized systems with new functionalities and characteristics to improve existing systems, including photonic, conductive, polymer, and composite materials.
With this concept in mind, this Special Issue aims to publish research on innovative materials and their applications. Topics to be covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Technology and applications of nanosized systems with photoluminescent properties;
- Advanced design, physicochemical and photoluminescence properties, characterization, and modification of nanosized systems;
- Novel active nanosized systems, especially those made of organic and inorganic hybrids, nanocrystalline bio- materials, and nanosized ceramics doped and co-doped with photoluminescent-active ions;
- Nanosized metallic systems;
- Applications of nanosized photonic systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
