Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced semiconductor materials and films are building blocks for multifunctional devices and circuits, integrated optoelectronic chips, and high-throughput communications, which have proved basic material platforms for nanoscience and technologies. With unique structural properties and exhibiting the potential to act as significant optoelectronic and nanophotonic units, advanced semiconductor materials, e.g., quantum dots, one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures, 2D materials, and semiconductor thin films, have been used in a variety
of fields. In particular, 1D bandgap modulated structures, heterostructures, and artificial optical systems (fabricated via a chemical vapor deposition (CVD), metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), atomic layer deposition (ALD), solution-based process, and sputtering, etc., may provide new opportunities for wavelength-tunable lasers, photovoltaics, solid-state lighting, spectrometers, and multicolor displays, as well as other highly integrated optoelectronic devices.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers to share current research findings and investigations to promote further research into the highly integrated photonic and optoelectronic performance of advanced multifunctional materials, including experimental and theoretical calculations. Authors are invited to submit original research articles, critical review articles, or short communications focused on, but not limited to, the following topics: the on-structure synthesis of 1D or 2D materials with radially or axially modulated compositions along a single nanostructure; innovative techniques for the realization of bandgap engineering on a single nanowire or 2D materials; recent advances in thin films and optoelectronic applications; the fabrication and physical properties of semiconductor materials; and semiconductor–metal interactions or light–mater interactions. Original articles, case reports, 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
