Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The physics of semiconductor and metallic nanostructures has enriched mankind over the past decades with many remarkable discoveries and their applications in optics. It takes your breath away with even a simple list: semiconductor quantum wells/wires/dots LEDs, lasers, photonic detectors, switches, microcavities, photonic crystal slabs, metallic and all-dielectric metasurfaces, etc. Without any doubt, this line of research is central in the field of condensed matter physics, modern electrodynamics of complex-composite materials, and quantum physics.
This Special Issue’s aim is to collect research contributions in the area of optical properties of metallic and semiconductor nanostructures. We invite manuscripts covering a broad range from theoretical models and methods to experimental and device realizations. Focusing on applications in linear and nonlinear optics, light emission, manipulation, detection and high harmonic generation is especially welcome. We invite also contributions in the fields of excitons and exciton-polaritons in semiconductor nanostructures, nanoplasmonics, metallic and semiconductor metasurfaces, and new van der Waals two-dimensional layered semiconductors.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
