Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of advanced nanomaterials has unlocked unprecedented opportunities in the fields of semiconductor photonics, artificial intelligence (AI), and sensing technologies. These materials, with their unique optical, electronic, and structural properties, enable the creation of innovative devices that push the boundaries of performance and efficiency. This Special Issue, ’Advanced Nanomaterials for Semiconductor Photonics and their Applications in AI and Sensing’, is dedicated to exploring recent advancements in the design, synthesis, and application of nanomaterials in these rapidly evolving fields.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions that address critical challenges and breakthroughs in areas such as high-speed photonic circuits, AI-enabled optoelectronics, and next-generation sensing technologies. Topics of interest include quantum dots, nanowires, photonic crystals, and two-dimensional materials tailored to photonics and sensing. Research showcasing innovations in material design for enhanced energy efficiency, signal processing, and miniaturized device integration is of particular interest.
We also encourage the submission of papers focusing on the interplay between nanomaterials and AI, highlighting how advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques can optimize the design and application of photonic systems. Studies addressing real-world applications, including smart sensing for healthcare, environmental monitoring, and AI-driven photonic computing, are also welcome.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss state-of-the-art developments and emerging trends in semiconductor nanomaterials. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, this Special Issue seeks to advance the understanding and application of nanomaterials in photonics, AI, and sensing, driving technological innovation in this field and its societal impact.
