Journal of Materials Chemistry C is planning to produce a themed issue on ‘The chemistry of photonic crystals and metamaterials’ in 2013. The Guest Editors of the issue will be Professors Yadong Yin (University of California, Riverside, USA) and Jianping Ge (Tongji University, China).
Photonic crystals and metamaterials are gaining increasing interest due to their important potential applications. Many novel optical materials have been developed by manipulating the diffraction, refraction, and electronic resonances such as plasmons through controlling the interaction between light and dielectric and metallic nanostructures. This themed issue will broadly cover the chemistry aspects of photonic crystals and metamaterials including their synthesis and fabrication through chemical approaches, self-assembly, characterization, and niche applications.
