Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The discovery of the electric field effect in graphene has unleashed a tremendous amount of research into the numerous 2D materials and shaped one of the most inspiring fields in modern nanoscience. The main motivation of this research consists in creating atomically thin electronic devices, which might one day revolutionize the nanoelectronics industry. In particular, realization of field-effect transistors with monolayer 2D channels should allow to overcome short-channel effects and thus extend the life of Moore’s law towards sub-5 nm channel dimensions. Additionally, thin 2D layers can be successfully applied in flexible and wearable electronics, optoelectronic devices, and sensing applications. However, bringing 2D nanoelectronic devices to the commercial market still presents a challenge, since many technological problems have not been addressed so far.
In order to summarize the most intriguing achievements in 2D device research and identify possible strategies to move forward, we invite scientists to contribute to the Special Issue on “Nanoelectronic Devices Based on 2D Materials”. This issue is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum covering broad aspects of fabrication, characterization, and modeling of various devices based on 2D materials.
The potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Advanced fabrication techniques of FETs and other devices with 2D materials;
- Comprehensive modeling and performance projection of 2D devices;
- Optoelectronic devices based on 2D materials;
- Steep-slope devices with 2D materials;
- Electronic synapses made of 2D materials;
- Scalable insulators for 2D FETs;
- Reliability and stability of 2D nanoelectronic devices.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
