Optoelectronic Devices: From Fundamental Research to Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Optoelectronics is based on the light–matter interactions that convert photons into electrons or vice versa. As shown by the fundamental research and applications of optoelectronic materials in sensing, display, lighting and photon harvesting, optical communicating devices have made rapid progress over the past few decades, owing to the emerging classes of materials, including organic semiconductors, perovskites, and low-dimensional nanomaterials and so on. For these devices, their industrial applications have put forward higher requirements, including smaller sizes, higher speed, higher efficiency, lower power consumption and better stability. This Special Issue aims to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on exploring the fundamental properties of emerging optoelectronic materials and potential applications in optoelectronic devices. This research topic spans a wide variety of subjects in optoelectronic devices (photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, laser, solar cells, etc.) and integrated systems, including optoelectronic material growth and processing, heterogeneous integration, device architecture and simulation and optical and electronic design. It also focuses on the fundamental understanding of the photo-physical or chemical properties of the involved materials and light–matter interactions, with the aim of unveiling the underlying effects on device performances.

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 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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
