Multi-dimensional (1D, 2D, 3D) Micro/Nanocomposite Thin Films and Crystals
This special issue belongs to the section "D: Materials and Processing".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decades, micromechanics has expanded considerably to many STEM fields, such as wearable devices, MEMS, and microsensors in biomedical, optical and materials applications. This Special Issue will deal with micro and nanocomposite 1D, 2D and 3D thin films and crystals, which are essential for the current technology evolution trends. The study of their physical, thermal and electrical properties different from the bulk materials and on the microscale is of fundamental importance in pushing to develop new materials more active and interactive to human needs. In addition to the improvement methods, the design and fabrication of miniature systems and devices have to be developed and integrated into larger complicated systems.
We welcome theoretical and experimental studies and review articles that provide comprehensive and up-to-date overviews of specific topics within the scope of the Special Issue.
We particularly encourage contributions from colleagues who will attend the IUMRS-ICA/MRM conference: https://mrm2023.jmru.org/ (Kyoto, 11–16 December 2023).

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-anonymized 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.
