Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional materials (LDMs) provide a promising platform with the potential to revolutionize information and communication technologies. Among them, a special kind of LDMs with in-plane anisotropic properties attract significant research interest due to their anisotropic crystal and spin structures, which give rise to intriguing electronic, optical, and magnetic properties in various fields. Particularly, the symmetry in 2D materials can be modified using methods such as gating, doping, twisting, and stacking heterostructures, thereby making symmetry an important factor in manipulating the electronic and optical properties of low-dimensional systems.
This Special Issue aims to explore how symmetry violations offer unique opportunities for low-dimensional systems. The work may include (but is not limited to) discussions on hyperbolic polaritons arising from in-plane anisotropic optical absorption, 2D ferroelectrics and harmonic generation resulting from inversion symmetry breaking, time-reversal symmetry breaking for 2D magnetism, and different strategies to tune and enhance the afore-mentioned effects.

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.
