Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The science of atoms and simple molecules and the science of matter from microstructures to larger scales are both well established. A remaining extremely important size-related challenge exists at the nanoscale—roughly the dimensional scale between 10 and 100 molecular diameters—where the fundamental properties of materials are determined and can be engineered. Nanotechnology has enjoyed explosive growth in the past few years, specifically in nanofabrication techniques employed to construct nanoelectronics devices, which has advanced tremendously in recent years. Obviously, revolutionary changes in the ability to measure, organize, and manipulate matter at the nanoscale are highly beneficial for electronics, with the persistent trend of downsizing devices, components, and integrated systems. In turn, the miniaturization required by electronics is one of the major driving forces for nanoscience and nanotechnology. Hence, there is a need for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary account of the technology and science that underpin nanoelectronics, covering the underlying physics, nanostructures, nanomaterials, and nanodevices. A principal goal of nanotechnology is to control and exploit these properties in structures and devices at the atomic, molecular, and supramolecular levels.
This Special Issue is open to new advances in nanoelectronics involving:
- Advances in growth, fabrication, and measurement techniques for nanostructures.
- Electron transport in semiconductor nanostructures.
- Electronics in traditional low-dimensional structures.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
