Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will cover all new advances in light–matter interaction at the nanoscale targeted towards sensing at the nano level. Controlling light–matter interactions beyond the diffraction limit is a rapidly increasing field of significant scientific importance, with new technologies ranging from tunable incandescent light emission to single-photon sources. Nanostructures, including metallic (plasmonic), dielectric and semiconductor, 2D materials, quantum dots, as well as hybrid nanostructures have great potential in a variety of applications in electrochemical biosensing, optical biosensing, and bioimaging. This includes the detection of gases, gaseous pollutants or other dangerous substances, optical signals, mechanical strain, etc. A major goal of this Special Issue is to provide new strategies for light–matter interactions at the nanoscale, with particular attention paid to developing new materials and novel technologies for sensing at the nanoscale.

We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on Light–Matter Interactions in Functional Nanomaterials for Sensing, which is intended to serve as a multidisciplinary forum covering broad aspects of the science, technology, and application of novel sensing devices.

The potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Nanoparticle-based sensors;

2D-material-based optical sensors;

Optical nanocavity resonators sensors;

Surface plasmons and Bloch surface waves sensors;

Plasmonic and photonic crystal sensors;

Waveguide-based nanophotonic sensors;

Photonic crystal fiber-based sensors;

Fiber optic sensors;

Optical biosensors;

Holographic sensors;

Experimental and theoretical studies of optoelectronic and photonic sensors

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. Sensors 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.
