Control of Light–Matter Interaction at the Nanoscale

Dear Colleagues,                

The interaction of light and matter has been a central element in revolutionizing the science and technology of modern society in an unprecedented way. Thus, the field of the control of interactions between light and matter is of vital importance since it covers important scientific aspects concerning physics, chemistry, and engineering. Moreover, it offers an irreplaceable method with which to investigate and connect light–matter interaction phenomena to related applications of novel materials at the nanoscale. The field continues to grow at a very rapid pace, which brings many new exciting discoveries almost every day. To attract broad attention to the control of light and matter interactions at the nanoscale, we are organizing this Special Issue.

The Special Issue on the control of light–matter interaction at the nanoscale aims to highlight recent computational and theoretical advancements related to light–matter interaction and its control at the nanoscale in relevant research areas within physics, chemistry, and materials science; however, contributions of novel experimental results are also highly welcome. The topics of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, quantum control of nanoscale systems, plexcitonics, ultrashort intense laser–matter interaction, active and passive control of light by matter, nonlinear and quantum optics, cavity optomechanics, optical applications of quantum technologies, quantum sensing, and energy as well as charge transfer at the nanoscale.

Manuscripts can be submitted in the following formats: full research papers, communications, and reviews.

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.
