Surface Physics of Low-Dimensional Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

The surface structures, electronic states, and interfacial interactions of low-dimensional nanomaterials directly determine the core properties of the materials such as their electronic, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties, making them a key to breaking through the performance bottlenecks of traditional materials and driving emerging technological innovations. Therefore, understanding and controlling these surface phenomena are critical for harnessing the full potential of low-dimensional nanomaterials in advanced applications.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent theoretical and experimental advancements in characterizing, understanding, and manipulating the surface physics of these fascinating materials. It focuses on frontier scientific issues and technological breakthroughs in the surface physics of low-dimensional nanomaterials, covering core directions such as surface-structure characterization, electronic-state regulation, surface/interface interaction mechanisms, surface modification and functionalization, surface physical behaviors under extreme conditions, and device applications based on surface effects.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Surface and interface characterization
• Theoretical and computational studies
• Surface modification and functionalization
• Environmental interactions
• Surface-enhanced phenomena
• Novel low-dimensional materials

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 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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
