Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metamaterial and their 2D counterparts (i.e., metasurfaces) consist of subwavelength metallic or dielectric unit cells that enable the on-demand tailoring of effective medium properties in the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum. With the design of metamaterials, the interactions of light and matter are engineered to achieve various functions, including, but not limited to, anomalous refraction, perfect absorption, super-lensing, arbitrary polarization and angular orbital momentum control, and self-adaptive responses. Emerging metamaterials foster the development of optical components and devices from radiofrequencies to visible wavelengths, especially in the terahertz and infrared regimes. Terahertz and infrared metamaterials give rise to functional devices such as detectors, imagers, ultrathin flat lenses, and polarizers, among others. More intriguingly, metamaterials can be dynamically tuned to achieve reprogramming and reconfigurable devices, including spatial light modulators, beam manipulation, and phase modulation, to name a few. Terahertz and infrared devices have great potential in applications of next-generation communication, LiDARs, chemical as well as biological sensing, and advanced optical systems. Novel metamaterial components and devices are being developed to address the challenges in industry, agriculture, bio-medicine, and space exploration. Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to compose a gallery of research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on (1) the novel designs, fabrication, and characterization techniques of terahertz and infrared metamaterials based on various physical principles, in addition to (2) new developments in terahertz and infrared devices enabled by metamaterials for various 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. Micromachines 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.
