Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We propose a Special Issue entitled "Recent Advances in Plasmon Resonance Sensors", aiming to highlight the latest breakthroughs, innovations, and state-of-the-art in the field of plasmonic sensor technologies. Plasmonics is a rapidly growing field of research and technology that focuses on the interaction between electromagnetic waves and the collective oscillations of electrons (plasmons) in metals. It is a powerful label-free technique that can detect very small refractive index changes in the surrounding medium owing to its ultrasensitive nature. Currently, this technique is extensively used for various applications, such as medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, food safety, pharmaceuticals, security, and defense. It is a multidisciplinary subject, and its applications cover various fields, such as physics, chemistry, material science, nanotechnology, biology, and engineering. Plasmonic sensors offer several advantages over traditional sensing methods, such as quick response, real-time monitoring, low-cost, lightweight, and label-free, and the potential for multiplexing and point-of-care applications. We invite researchers, scientists, and engineers to submit original research articles, reviews, and communications. The topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- SPR-based sensors;
- LSPR-based sensors;
- Plasmonic biosensors;
- Machine learning/artificial intelligence in plasmonics;
- Plasmonic metasurfaces;
- Microfluidic plasmonic sensing devices;
- Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy;
- Plasmon enhanced fluorescence;
- 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 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. Sensors 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.
