Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electronic, optoelectronic, and optical devices are widely used technologies that greatly contribute to the convenience of modern life in the spheres of information, energy, biology, environment and nano information. To improve the performances of the devices that employ electrons and photons, it is important to investigate new optical and electronic materials properties for applications in these devices. Nanostructures have attracted significant attention because they are easily integrated into the devices and have new physical properties that are not present in bulk materials.
In new technologies, nanostructures play a key role. In contrast to nanomaterials, whose properties are inherent, nanostructures can be engineered to present unique optical and photonic properties by taking advantage of phenomena such as quantum confinement effects, localized plasmons, interference or effective media. Bottom-up nanostructures (epytaxial layers, quantum dots and wires, and bidimensional materials) and up-bottom materials (meso- and nanoporous semiconductors, and self-assembled structures) can be tailored to show the desired optical behavior for a given application.
This Special Issue will address all topics related to the design, fabrication and characterization of any kind of nanostructures, and their potential and practical use in photonic or optoelectronic applications. Both original research and review papers are welcome for submission.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
