Nano-Photonics and Meta-Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades, nanomaterials and metamaterials have revolutionized the landscape of optical sciences. Highly enhanced electromagnetic fields typically associated with nanomaterials allow strong light-matter interaction, leading to exotic responses. Recent advances in nanofabrication have made it possible to create intelligently engineered nanostructures of subwavelength dimensions with controllable optical properties for various applications. Photonics and biophotonics are two areas that have benefitted immensely from such nano-engineered materials. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest developments in nanophotonics, bio-nanophotonics, and their application domains. Areas of interest include recent developments in nanophotonic science enabling breakthroughs in key areas such as communication, biomedical and life sciences, information sciences, super-resolution imaging, metrology, energy harvesting, and sustainability. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• nanomaterials for photonics and plasmonics;
• metamaterials, photonic crystals, and metasurfaces;
• green nanophotonics including solar energy conversion;
• topological photonics;
• nanobiophotonics: sensing and imaging;
• nano-optoelectronics;
• nonlinear optics at nanoscale;
• quantum plasmonics.

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.
