Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Owning to the ultimate limit of size, ultralow mass density, high mechanical strength, ample electronic and optic properties, nano-electromechanical systems (NEMSs) built with one- and two-dimensional materials not only acquire functionalities that are unattainable in conventional NEMSs but also serve as an ideal prober for mesoscopic physics. One crucial feature of low-dimensional NEMSs is the high sensitivity to external environments such as molecule adsorption, clamping conditions, thermal reservoir, van der Waals interaction with substrates, etc. This Special Issue aims to present experimental and theorical efforts on elucidating various factors that influence the mechanical and dynamical properties of low-dimensional NEMSs.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Molecular dynamics modeling of low-dimensional NEMSs;
- Novel functions of low-dimensional NEMSs;
- Low-dimensional NEMSs associated with van der Waals interaction;
- Effects of interlayer interactions on few-layer 2D NEMSs;
- Effects of gas or liquid environment;
- Effects of clamping conditions and internal stress.

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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
