Nanoplasmonics: Emerging Field of Nanophotonics

Dear Colleagues,

Although plasmonic phenomena were identified more than half century ago, with the rapid advancements of photonics, computation, and nanofabrication techniques, the area of plasmonics has achieved remarkable developments in both fundamental principles and various practical applications, including subwavelength imaging, lithography, microscopy, spectroscopy, optical interconnects, optical trapping and sensing, etc. Recently, the main effort has been to combine it with new physics, materials, and techniques such as deep ultraviolet/extreme ultraviolet sources, two-dimensional materials, quantum plasmonics, and many more to search for exciting phenomena and applications.

This Special Issue invites manuscripts that introduce recent advances in “Nanoplasmonics: Emerging Field of Nanophotonics”. All theoretical, numerical, and experimental papers are accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Plasmonic-based super resolution imaging;
• Plasmonic-based lithography and fabrication;
• Plasmonic metasurfaces and metamaterials;
• Deep ultraviolet/extreme ultraviolet plasmonic;
• Plasmonics in two-dimensional materials;
• Nonlinear plasmonics;
• Quantum plasmonics;
• Plasmonic optical trapping;
• Plasmonic optical waveguides;
• Plasmonic spectroscopy and sensing;
• Plasmonics with microfluidics.

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. Photonics 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 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.
