Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, laser fabrication technology has been widely used in both industry and academia, including for laser ablation, laser cleaning, additive, subtractive, and modification manufacturing. By decreasing a laser’s pulse duration, ablating a small but precise amount of material has become possible without significant thermal damage to the workpiece; this process allows us to fabricate ultra-fine structures at nano- and microscales using laser ablation. These laser-induced surface structures have received a great deal of research attention due to their unique capabilities of functionalizing material surfaces.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest developments in advanced laser fabrication technologies and novelty applications. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Laser fabrication of novel micro/nanostructured surfaces;
- Fundamental theoretical and technical aspects of the laser fabrication of micro/nanomaterials;
- Etching (plasma and wet bath)-assisted laser fabrication technology;
- Laser-induced micro/nanostructures;
- Laser ablation/cleaning/cutting;
- Laser spectroscopic analysis using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy or time-resolved spectroscopy;
- Imaging via ultra-fast laser pulse transmission/scanning electron microscope;
- Multi-layer preparation based on pulsed laser deposition
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ayman Mohamed Mostafa

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
