Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanowires (NWs) have been envisioned as nanoscale materials for next-generation technology with good functionality, superior performance, high integration ability and low cost, because of their special growth modes and unique 1D structure. Their novel properties can solve many bottlenecks in the fields of electronics and photonics, which has gained them great attention in recent years. We are welcoming submissions on solving the main challenges and presenting important progress in the fabrication and applications of NWs. Topics may include novel III–V NW growth techniques that significantly improve the NW morphology, crystal quality, and structures, such as axial and radial junctions. The scope also includes the construction of novel electronics and photonics with NWs. Moreover, reviews are also welcomed on the advantages, challenges, major breakthroughs, and perspective outlook of using NWs in the research field of electronics and photonics.
Kind regards,
Dr. Yunyan Zhang

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.
