Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exploration of the materials world at micro- or nanoscale asks for significant manipulation technologies to control nanomaterials in precise and versatile manner. Optical manipulation in regarded as one of the most promising platform due to non-contact interaction, high accuracy, and flexibility in light management. Physically, optical manipulation arises from the optomechanic coupling during the light-matter interaction, which includes direct momentum transfer between photons and nanomaterials and multiple-field coupling to convert optical energy to mechanical energy. The response of nanocrystals to the light-generated force field provides opportunities to trap or actuate the nanocrystals for a variety of applications in functional photonic devices, biosensing and nanomedicine. The present special issue on “Frontiers of Optomechanics of Nanocrystals” will summarize the most recent progress in this field, including but not limited to optical trapping, optical levitation, optical micromachines, optical printing, and optical assembly, as well as their cutting-edge applications. We expect that this special issue will provide new guidance for the design of optomechanic nanosystems for future technical innovation and applications.

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. Crystals 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 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.
