Nanomaterials for Electronic and Photonic Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Nanomaterials have been at the center of interest for nearly decades as their contributions to different disciplines such as electronics, photonics and medicine are enormous. In contrast to nanomaterials, whose properties are inherent, nanostructures can be engineered to present unique optical and photonic properties by taking advantage of phenomena such as quantum confinement effects, localized plasmons, interference or effective media. Effects and applications include absorption, photoemission, scattering, nonlinear optics, ultrafast phenomena, photoconduction and photovoltaics, plasmonics, and lasing. Electronics are the introduction of vertical MOSFETs in addition to the planar ones to enable the multigate approach as well as the development of new tunneling, high-electron-mobility, and single-electron devices. Available applications for nanomaterials include wireless sensors, wide-bandgap semiconductors, superconductors, supercapacitors, medicine, magnetic materials, thin films, photovoltaic optics and photonics materials, flexible biomaterials, advanced materials, and hybrid materials to name just a few.

The goal of the present Special Issue is to attract academic and industrial researchers to further improve the properties of nanomaterials and propose new ideas for future applications and new technologies through continuous in-depth research on existing photonic and electronic nanocomposites. The Guest Editors invite authors to contribute original research articles and review articles covering the current progress on these materials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Nanomaterials in medicine on biomedical devices;
• Nanomaterial-based sensing technologies;
• Magnetic nanomaterials and quantum materials;
• Microwave, millimeter-wave and terahertz in biosensing;
• Wide-bandgap materials and solid-state electronics;
• Optoelectronics, electromagnetics and sensing on semiconductors;
• Magnetic materials and electronic materials;
• Electrocatalytic/photocatalytic materials.

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.
