Synthesis and Ferroelectric, Photoelectric, Magnetic Properties of Thin Films

Dear Colleagues,

Nanostructured thin films have attracted a great deal of interest over the last few decades due to their unique, size-dependent, physicochemical properties. Consequently, they have been exploited as promising materials for a wide range of applications, including smart coating, effective drug delivery systems, electrocatalysis, memorizer and highly-sensitive sensors.

We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, which is devoted to the synthesis of thin films and their ferroelectric, photoelectric and magnetic properties as well as applications. We expect new original results and interpretations for the synthesis of nanostructured thin films, with special emphasis being given to complex characterizations and multifunctional applications. Different formats of articles, including full articles, review papers and short communications, are welcome for submission.

Prof. Dr. Linxing Zhang

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.
