Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanophotonics materials and devices have become an extremely active research field, encompassing novel nanomaterials, physical phenomena and design concepts. In these areas, design scenarios typically attempt to confine optoelectronic functionality into the smallest possible volume to meet specifications in terms of integration density and device performance unparalleled by the state-of-the-art technologies. This approach is based on the fundamental assumption that proper functionality is viable at the nanoscale and accessible from an environment whose scale is larger by several orders of magnitude. Nanophotonics scientists are actually faced with devices that are operated at their physical limit and therefore have to rely on holistic designs when exploiting new material properties to bypass restrictions posed by conventional optical designs and interfacing problems. The objective of this Special Issue is to address these conceptual challenges while highlighting novel trends in nanophotonics materials and devices, including recent progress in modeling and component development.

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. Materials 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.
