Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increased interest in clustered materials is associated with its unique physical and chemical properties due to the peculiarities of their electronic structure. In particular, the energy spectrum of clustered materials could have significant differences from the spectrum of bulk materials, which makes them attractive for photonics applications. Cluster materials potentially become a substitute for many materials of optics and photonics applications due to the possibility of predicted changes in properties during the controlled formation of different structures. Following the rapid evolution of laser technology and technics, new laser methods for the synthesis and modification of various materials are actively being developed. These methods are characterized by high chemical purity, sufficient simplicity, and relatively low cost, which allows us to consider laser synthesis of new clustered materials promising for industrial applications.
In this Special Issue, modern trends of laser synthesis and structural study of novel clustered materials with the prospect of their application in photonics are highlighted and discussed.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all 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. 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.
