Recent Advances in Spectroscopy of Molecular Ensembles and Low-Dimensional Phases

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure for me to invite you to submit an article for a high-profile Special Issue titled “Recent Advances in Spectroscopy of Molecular Ensembles and Low-Dimensional Phases”, to be published in Molecules. This Special Issue aims to represent the recent advances in the experimental and theoretical study of composition, atomic and electronic structure, and structure–properties relationships of advanced molecular ensembles and low-dimensional phases using a broad range of spectroscopic techniques which may include but are not limited to X-ray, photoelectron (including ARPES), optical, Raman, FT-IR, diffraction, and electron microscopy techniques. First, the Issue concerns a wide range of X-ray and photoelectron techniques to study the structure and electronic properties of molecular ensembles and low-dimensional phases. Second, we especially welcome the submission of papers aiming to study the optical properties of low-dimensional phases for advances photovoltaic, LED, catalytic, spintronic, quantum, and biosensing applications. The consideration of fundamental aspects of energy and charge transfer processes will be considered an advantage. Review articles and perspectives from experts in the field are welcome as well.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
