Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In laser-based processing of materials that includes surface nano- and microstructuring, high-precision cutting and drilling, nanoparticle and nanostructure formation, among many others, multiscale theoretical investigations are of paramount importance for providing a systematic and controllable means of linking the observed surface modification with the applied conditions. This Special Issue on “Multiscale Modeling of Laser-Induced Phenomena on Solids” will address advances in multiscale modeling approaches. The emphasis of this issue is on the elucidation of the role of laser parameters and how they influence physical processes on various time scales (electronic, atomistic, mesoscopic, continuum, multiscale). The objective is firstly to advance our understanding on these mechanisms and secondly to allow an accurate prediction of surface/volume morphological changes. Articles and reviews dealing with first principle analysis, atomistic simulations, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations, investigation of dynamics of out-of-equilibrium carriers, relaxation processes, fluid dynamics, plastic effects, ablation, and machine learning-based approaches are all very welcome.

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.
