Special Issue Information
Unprecedented scientific activity concerning the study and development of various carbon materials started between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century and has continued growing. A large number of newly discovered allotropic modifications of carbon, possessing unique properties, and a modern set of instruments are fueling this rise.
Laser is one of the efficient instruments for the study and investigation of carbon materials with the most important parameters (average and pulsed power, wavelength, pulse duration, repetition rate) varying in a wide range.
Significant differences in the thermophysical, optical, and electrical properties of various forms of carbon material and unique parameters of laser radiation allow performing a variety of types of laser modification of carbon materials to obtain new knowledge on light–matter interaction, for the creation of planar metamaterials and three-dimensional photonic crystals, for the direct writing of information using lasers, and for other various uses in photonics, optoelectronics, and microelectronics.
We are interested in articles that study the laser processing of carbon materials.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- New phenomena in interaction of laser radiation with carbon and nanocarbon materials;
- Femtosecond laser modification of diamond and other carbon and nanocarbon materials;
- Laser treatment, modification, and microstructuring of carbon and nanocarbon film structures.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
