Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cooperative phenomena are at the basis of many-body physics. These phenomena are associated with particle interactions and correlations. For example, in condensed matter physics, such phenomena as sound, thermal conductivity, etc. are due to collective particle interactions. Cooperative phenomena are at the origin of phase transitions. The arising long-range, mid-range, or short-range orders are due to coherent action of many constituents. They lead to quantum effects, such as superfluidity and superconductivity. With the development of modern technologies, operating on a nanometer scale, a natural question arises about the manifestation of cooperative phenomena in mesoscopic systems. In these systems, the finite-size effects can become important, as can the influence of the surfaces and boundaries, whose role can be neglected for macroscopic systems. Understanding the peculiarities of these phenomena in a microscopic environment becomes a real challenge for science. Indeed, the study of physics phenomena in mesoscopic systems has grown into a wide field of interdisciplinary investigations involving various branches of natural sciences from physics to chemistry and biology to sociology. Thus, the importance of studying different aspects of cooperative phenomena that can break or preserve symmetries in their evolution between the macroscopic and microscopic world becomes obvious. The knowledge, gained in the study of mesoscopic systems, will deepen our understanding of cooperative phenomena in various branches of modern science and will be useful for the advancement of new technologies.

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. Symmetry 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.
