Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, ceramic materials have emerged as multifunctional materials for a wide range of applications as well as due to their underlying fundamental physics. The ceramic nanomaterials have unique chemical and physical properties. Moreover, ceramic nanomaterials exhibit extraordinary properties such as large surface area, good electronic conductivity, excellent electrochemical properties, and good chemical, electrochemical, and thermal stabilities that are promising for numerous advanced technological applications. Therefore, many efforts have been attempted worldwide for the synthesis and characterization of cermaic materials. Various advanced characterization tools such X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Atomic-force microscopy (AFM), Magnetic force microscopes (MFMs), scanning tunneling microscopes (STMs), Raman spectroscopy, DC magnetization measurements, dielectric spectroscopy, impedance spectroscopy considered to be of importance for characterizing the properties of ceramic materials. Thus, The ultimate goal of this special issue is to publish high-quality research articles as well as review articles related to ceramic materials focused on their growth, characterization, and potential applications. Quality submissions in the following Potential topics are invited for this special issue.

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).
