Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of modern electromagnetic technologies relies on the development of original theoretical approaches and new artificial materials. Artificially structured composites, known as metamaterials, exhibit novel properties that do not exist in natural materials, broadening human abilities in manipulating electromagnetic waves. Metamaterials provide a unique pathway to generate, guide, modulate, and detect electromagnetic waves by having structural features that are significantly smaller than the operation wavelength. The development of metamaterials enables intriguing applications ranging from wavefront manipulation, imaging at subwavelength resolution, invisibility cloaks, new concept antennas, data processing, and highly flexible sensing and modulation, which have been receiving significant attention among both the scientific and engineering communities.
The proposed Special Issue aims to offer a collection of the recent developments in electromagnetic metamaterials, metasurfaces, and surface plasmonics and explore their potential usefulness in various aspects, both experimentally and theoretically. We hope this Special Issue could stimulate continuing efforts on the understanding of electromagnetic metamaterials and exploring their applications. Tremendous efforts are still ongoing in this fascinating area. We expect that more and more new real applications of metamaterials and meta-devices will become a reality in the near future.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome for submission in this Special Issue. Research areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel designs for metamaterials/metasurfaces;
- Microphotonics, nanophotonics, plasmonics, and novel optical devices;
- Optical imaging and sensing;
- Plasmon-enhanced light–matter interaction at the nanoscale;
- Graphene metamaterials and devices;
- Metamaterials/metasurfaces for antennas and RF devices.

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 2600 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.
