Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photonics—the science of creating, manipulating, transmitting, and detecting light—has demonstrated the potential to bring significant progress and even to revolutionize a large range of domains, including healthcare, environment monitoring, energy generation and conservation, high-speed telecommunications, quantum computing, IoT, manufacturing technologies, transportation, and agriculture.
To improve the performance of photonic devices and circuits and add new functionalities, advances in optical materials and nanofabrication techniques are required.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will focus on recent advances and trends in developing advanced materials with new optical, photonic, and electrical properties for applications in photonics.
We invite interested authors to submit papers that cover synthesis, investigations, and fundamental understanding of new of structures and physical/chemical/optical properties, and characterization and application of new materials for photonics. Papers should demonstrate the applicability of the new materials in photonics and the added value in terms of performance, cost, and/or functionalities.
Papers presenting advanced device concepts and integration of the new materials with electronics will be highly appreciated.

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.
