Characterization of Nanostructure Materials

Dear Colleagues, 

Nanoscience has undergone surging development in recent decades with a simultaneous transition of scientific results to innovative technologies which in turn enrich and expand the potentialities of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The numerous interdisciplinary applications range from energy and electronics to medicine and industry. The backbone of the whole process, from synthesis to specific applications, is material characterization to probe the specific characteristics and qualities of materials and devices. Both standalone and combined, various methods provide an insight to structural or compositional information, such as the shape, size, crystal structure, chemical composition, surface or interface environment, as well as physicochemical responses which can be, among others, optical, electrical, or magnetic.

This Special Issue on “Characterization of Nanostructure Materials” aspires to present the various characterization methods and capabilities which emerge through their application to the broad spectrum of nanotechnology.

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.
