Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a forthcoming Special Issue of Nanomaterials dedicated to Progress in Nanoscale Materials for Plasmonics and Photonics. We invite you to contribute your research to this special issue, which aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in this dynamic field.
The use of nanoscale materials in plasmonics and photonics has transformed our ability to manipulate and harness light at the nanoscale. Over the years, researchers have made significant breakthroughs in the design, fabrication, and application of nanoscale materials, leading to a rich history of innovation in this area. From the pioneering work on metallic nanoparticles to the development of novel metamaterials and quantum dot technologies, the journey of nanoscale materials in plasmonics and photonics is both fascinating and impactful.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent developments and cutting-edge research in the field of nanoscale materials for plasmonics and photonics. We are particularly interested in papers that showcase cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and transformative applications of nanoscale materials. This Special Issue will serve as a platform to disseminate the latest discoveries, highlight technological advancements, and foster collaboration among researchers in the field.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspective papers that contribute to our understanding of advanced nanoscale materials in plasmonics and photonics. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Emerging nanoscale materials in plasmonics and photonics;
- Synthesis and characterization of nanoscale plasmonic and photonic materials;
- Design and fabrication of metamaterials and metasurfaces;
- Quantum dots and nanocrystals for photonics applications;
- Two-dimensional materials for plasmonics;
- Novel nanomaterials for energy harvesting and photodetectors;
- Nanoscale materials for biophotonics and sensing;
- Nonlinear optical effects in nanomaterials (including hyperbolic materials);
- Quantum plasmonics and photonics;
- Photonic integrated circuits for low-energy, high-speed, high-precision solutions for imaging, sensing, metrology and beyond;
- Thermoplasmonics;
- Insights into the fundamental physics governing nanoscale material interactions with light.
Manuscripts should be prepared following the guidelines of Nanomaterials (see this link for author instructions and more details on the submission process). The submission deadline for this Special Issue is April 10th 2024, and all submissions will undergo a normal peer-review process.
We look forward to your contributions to this exciting Special Issue, which promises to be a valuable resource for researchers and scientists in the fields of plasmonics and photonics.
