Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, semiconductor-based composites have gained significant attention due to their synergistic properties that extend beyond those of individual components. This Special Issue, “Semiconductor-Based Composites: Design, Fabrication, and Emerging Applications”, aims to highlight advancements in the development, characterization, and integration of composite materials involving semiconductors. These materials play a critical role in modern technologies including flexible electronics, sensors, photovoltaics, and quantum devices.
The goal of this Special Issue is to publish contributions from researchers working on the design and processing of semiconductor-based composites, including hybrid nanostructures, thin-film heterostructures, and doped systems. Both experimental and theoretical studies are welcome, particularly those exploring novel functionalities, enhanced mechanical or electronic performance, and scalable fabrication techniques. We also welcome submissions addressing reliability, thermal stability, and device integration.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and short communications from scientists in academia, national labs, and industry to contribute to this Special Issue. We look forward to your contributions and hope this Special Issue serves as a platform for fruitful discussion and innovation in the field.
Dr. Azadeh Jafari
Guest Editor
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. Journal of Composites Science 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 1800 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.
