Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the launch of this Special Issue on “Novel Symmetric/Asymmetric Structures in High-Performance Photonic and Optoelectronic Devices”. The field of photonic and optoelectronic devices has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, enhancing the performance of photon manipulation and photodetection. As these devices continue to evolve, they have become integral components across diverse domains, including telecommunications, biomedical imaging, environmental sensing, and quantum computing. The integration of symmetric and asymmetric structures in high-performance photonic and optoelectronic devices holds great promise for advancing their capabilities and functionalities. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in this domain, highlighting the impact of symmetric and asymmetric structures on device performance and laying the groundwork for future innovations. We invite researchers and experts in the field of photonics and optoelectronics to contribute their original research and insights on the following areas:
- Carrier transport mechanism in the hetero/homojunction;
- Semiconductor physics;
- Charge carrier transport modulation;
- Metasurface;
- Photonic crystals;
- Light field manipulation within nanoscale;
- Photodetectors;
- Solar cells;
- Surface science;
- Interface science;
- Electronic structures;
- Film fabrication technologies;
- Passivation method;
- Hydrophobic surfaces;
- Organic and inorganic semiconductors.
We encourage researchers to submit their original research articles, reviews, or perspectives that explore the role of symmetry and asymmetry in high-performance photonic and optoelectronic devices. This Special Issue provides an opportunity to share novel insights, methodologies, and applications, shaping the future of the field.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
