Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first realization of graphene devices in 2004 sparked a revolution in materials science research. The outstanding mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, combined with the possibility of preparing high-quality devices and interfaces by artificially assembling different 2D materials and 2D materials-based hybrid devices, opened a vast range of possibilities for tailoring the functionalities and performance of the resulting devices.
One sub-area of growing interest within 2D materials and heterostructure devices research is the study and exploitation of light–matter interactions at the nanoscale (including photonic, optoelectronic, and polaritonic phenomena) for device applications. With the extensive catalogue of available materials with complementary properties, ranging from metallic layers to large bandgap insulators and semiconductors, from phononic to plasmonic polaritonic materials, as well as having access to materials with spin-momentum locking for “valleytronic” applications, together with the possibility to integrate 2D materials with other functional materials such as organic semiconductors or in photonic nanostructures, the development of novel technologies covering the whole electromagnetic spectral range is possible.
This Special Issue invites the submission of original contributions or comprehensive reviews (upon request) in the area of 2D materials and heterostructures for nanophotonic, optoelectronic, and polaritonic device applications from both experimental and theoretical perspectives.
Accepted papers are published in the joint Special Issue in Nanomanufacturing or Nanomaterials (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nanomanufacturing/special_issues/Nanom_Two-Dime_Nanophotonic).

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.
