Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional materials refers to materials whose dimensions are at the nanoscale in one or more dimensions, mainly including zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional materials. Due to their unique crystal structure, these materials exhibit many unique physical phenomena and application potentials, and have attracted widespread scientific attention.
This Special Issue, titled “Photonics and Plasmonics of Low-Dimensional Materials”, seeks to highlight the cutting-edge advances and research at the intersection between optical science and nanotechnology. Plasmonics can break through the diffraction limit and manipulate light on the subwavelength scale, which is a research hotspot at present. Combining the characteristics of low-dimensional materials with the advantages of plasmonics, it provides a reference for the miniaturization and integration of photonics devices in the future. This Special Issue will serve as a platform to drive forward the future of nano-optical systems.
Contributions are invited to cover research topics, both experimental and theoretical, and review articles on topics such as the new designs of nanophotonics, metamaterials, and metasurfaces, nanowaveguide devices based on micro- or nano-structures, and integrated optics, sensors, or photodetection techniques. We look forward to your participation.

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.
