Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever-growing development of electronic and optoelectronic materials is the fundamental source of progress in novel devices and systems, which meet the contemporary standards and upcoming challenges related to low-power consumption, energy harvesting, efficient conversion between electrical and optical signals, sensing, or high-speed electrical and optical signal processing, as well as many others.
This Special Issue aims to broadly cover the up-to-date aspects of the theory, design, technology, characterization, and current and future applications of novel materials, particularly concerning the following topics:
- wide-band semiconductor materials, which have gathered substantial interest in applications such as power switching, power conversion, motor drives, and military and consumer electric vehicles;
- ultra-thin layers, composite materials, and new high-k dielectric materials attract enormous attention as a key component of contemporary electronic and opto-electronic devices enabling an increase in the speed of CMOS transistors and a substantial reduction of source-drain leakage and power consumption;
- CMOS-compatible technological platforms of functional materials, nanomaterials, and metamaterials are vibrant research fields constituting paving new means for sensing, nonlinear effects enhancement, imaging, and signal processing;
- development of new materials and media for lasing, light amplification, detection, laser cooling, photovoltaics, and luminophore applications revealing enhanced quantum efficiency over UV, VIS, or IR spectral ranges.

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.
