Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, “Novel Techniques for Materials Characterization”, collects original and state-of-the-art techniques used to characterize the structure and behavior of materials. Nowadays, advanced applications drive the research and development of functional materials either to increase their properties or to introduce new functionalities. This process goes hand in hand with the improvement of materials characterization methods. New approaches constantly emerge as traditional techniques are  tested by demanding applications and requirements. The Special Issue invites original research articles and reviews which focus on novel materials characterization techniques connected to all forms of microscopy, (e.g. optical, scanning electron, scanning probe, transmission electron, laser-confocal, florescent, acoustic microscopy, etc.) spectroscopy (e.g. electron, X-ray, X-ray photoelectron, Raman, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, etc.) diffraction based (electron, X-ray, neutron) and electrochemical methods. Investigation and quantification of the micro/nanostructure of a wide range of materials (metals, semiconductors, nanomaterials, polymers, composites, optical materials or biomaterials) are welcome. Of particular interest are methods used for the characterization of low-dimensional nanostructures and surface analytical techniques with ultra-high sensitivity such as surface/tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS, TERS).

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.
