The 15th Anniversary of Nanomaterials—2D Materials and Heterostructures: Synthesis, Processing, and Device Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Two-dimensional layered materials (including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), boron nitride (h-BN) and more) and their heterostructures are currently the object of extensive scientific research regarding their application in fields such as electronics/optoelectronics, spintronics, quantum technologies, sensing and energy storage/harvesting. In particular, researchers are currently aiming to integrate graphene and TMDs into a Si CMOS platform, using wide-bandgap and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors technology. However, several challenges, including the use of scalable deposition methods, processing technology (e.g., Ohmic contacts, thin dielectric deposition) and device integration, need to be addressed before 2D materials can be employed in industry. Furthermore, advanced characterization techniques that specifically assess the quality of 2D materials and related devices are urgently needed.

This Special Issue aims to compile review and original research papers that address recent developments in the growth, integration, device processing and advanced characterization of 2D materials.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications, and reviews are welcome.

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.
