Recent Advances in Electronic Devices Based on 2D Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been explored extensively for use in electronic devices due to their lightness, flexibility, miraculous strength, optical sensitivity, and electrical conductivity. The continually expanding library of 2D materials, vast amounts of available data, and impressive performance of proof-of-concept devices have made it clear that 2D materials have great potential in electronic device applications. Large-scale fabrication of on-chip integrated electronic devices has been made possible following the success of large-area synthesis technology and lowering the contact resistance. Additionally, 2D heterostructures composed of 2D semimetals, semiconductors, and insulators have been synthesized or assembled relying on the van der Waals force. The use of 2D materials has provided a near-ideal platform for studying the interlayer interactions, such as the interlayer coherence, interlayer strong correlation, interlayer excitons, and twist angle dependence. These heterostructures have made it possible to develop novel electronic devices including twistronics, moiretronics, and interlayer exciton devices.

This Special Issue aims to showcase research papers and review articles that focus on the exploration of electrical properties and development of functional electronic devices using 2D materials. We welcome submissions that cover recent advances, unresolved problems, and cutting-edge results in this field.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 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.
