Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite contributions to this Special Issue titled “Special Issue: Two-Dimensional Semiconductors—Advancements in Material Growth and Characterization”.
As we move toward more energy-efficient technologies, semiconductors are becoming the driving force behind innovations across diverse technological fields. Nano-semiconductors, in particular, are set to play a pivotal role in advancing the future of these technologies. These materials offer unparalleled potential for miniaturization, increased efficiency, and the exploitation of quantum effects. This Special Issue will focus on cutting-edge developments in material growth and characterization. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: novel growth techniques (e.g., remote epitaxy, non-equilibrium synthesis) and understanding nucleation and growth mechanisms; 2D/3D heterostructures; interface and defect engineering; material transfer and integrations into various substrates; modelling; and experimental validation. Contributions studying how these materials enable advances in various technical fields, such as nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, quantum computing, and thermal management, are also welcomed.
We encourage authors to submit papers that provide new insights into the fundamental mechanisms, innovative fabrication techniques, and transformative potential of these materials in driving the future of advanced semiconductor technologies.
We look forward to your contributions to this exciting and forward-looking Special Issue.
Dr. Sakineh Chabi

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.
