Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micro-nano optoelectronics studies the interaction between matter and light waves/photons in micro-nano structures, providing new physical mechanisms and implementation methods for the innovative development of optoelectronic technology. The interaction between light and matter can essentially be understood as the interaction between various fundamental particles and quasiparticles. Micro-nano structures can manipulate the characteristics of quasiparticles, such as phonons and surface plasmon polaritons, and their interactions with photons and electrons. This manipulation leads to the emergence of new physics, promoting the development of functional optoelectronic chips. Micro-nano structures break through the traditional framework of optoelectronic chips based on the interaction between bound electrons and light fields, allowing free electrons to also play a new role in optoelectronic chips.
By using nanostructures or metamaterials, new mechanisms of interaction among flying electrons, bound electrons in crystals, and photons can be realized on chips, opening up new pathways for the future development of optoelectronic chips. Focusing on the new physics of light and matter interaction in various new structures at the micro-nano scale and their achievable new functions, a series of new optoelectronic chips have been successfully developed for new photoelectronic technology and novel applications.
This Research Topic will focus on the basic principles of surface plasmons and nano-resonators, but also on the possible semiconductor micro/nanostructures used for micro/nano-resonators and related novel photonic and electronic devices.
The Research Topic welcomes submissions in a list of themes, including, but not limited to:
- Light Emitting Diodes (LED);
- Laser Diodes (LD);
- Detecting devices and energy conversion structures;
- Special structure devices: Free electron radiation devices, Optical orbital angular momentum radiation and receiving devices, Stimulated radiation structures and devices based on surface plasmon polariton microcavities, Integrated dynamic angular momentum radiation structures and devices, Composite optoelectronic chips with phase modulation, Structures and devices for the generation, manipulation, and detection of optical quantum states.

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.
