Synthesis and Electronic Properties of Low-Dimensional Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Low-dimensional materials have attracted tremendous interest from the scientific community in the last two decades. These materials show unique and particular properties due to the nanometric size of one of their three dimensions. They exhibit different properties than their bulk counterparts, as they are governed by surface and finite-size quantum phenomena. This Special Issue will highlight studies on the procedures used for the synthesis of quantum dots, nanocrystals, nanowires/nanotubes, and thin films, investigating their impact on electronic properties such as optical, structural, or magnetic features. How are these phenomena translated to different applications?

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.
