Recent Advances in Epitaxial Growth: Materials and Methods

Dear Colleagues,

Epitaxial growth is an emerging technique for the production of single crystals, free-standing thin films and structures. Growing epitaxial films has been a growing interest in the field of semiconductor materials research. The method can epitaxially grow a two-dimensional material on the interface of a two-dimensional material layer. Although the principle of epitaxial growth reaction is simple, it is usually difficult to realize due to its strict requirements on sample preparation and process methods.

This Special Issue focuses on the development of advanced methods for epitaxial growth. Both original research articles and comprehensive review articles are welcome. All manuscripts will follow standard journal peer-review practices, and those accepted for publication will appear in this Special Issue.

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.
