Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional nanostructures based on widegap inorganic, composite, hybrid materials are utilized as versatile effective media for various applications in nano- and optoelectronics, bandgap engineering technologies, photonics and laser elements, non-volatile memory cells, single-photon emitters, solid state dosimetry, etc. Depending on the synthesis routes, the nanomaterials have different morphologies, i.e., nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, whiskers, dots, hybrid structures. Moreover, optical, electronic, chemical and many other properties, including defect-related properties, are subjected to different synthesis effects.
This Special Issue covers recent advances in functional nanomaterials with applications in nano- and optoelectronics, including LEDs, emission sources, memristors, photovoltaics, sensors and photodetector devices. We aim to provide a platform for the scientists involved in this field and related fields to share their current results and advanced developments.
I kindly invite you to submit a high-quality contribution to Special Issue of Applied Sciences entitled “Widegap Functional Nanomaterials: Properties & Applications’’. Reviews and original research articles are 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).
