Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional quantum nanomaterials—such as two-dimensional atomic crystals, one-dimensional nanowires, and zero-dimensional quantum dots—have defined a pivotal frontier in condensed matter physics and materials science over the past two decades.
This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews focused on the synthesis, phase transitions, and novel quantum properties of these systems. Our goal is to advance the fundamental understanding and control of such materials, from growth and structural evolution to emergent electronic, optical, and correlated phenomena, and to highlight their potential for future quantum, electronic, and energy technologies.
We invite original research articles and reviews covering topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Controlled synthesis of two-dimensional materials, nanowires, nanoribbons, and quantum dots, including atomic-scale fabrication and precision patterning techniques.
- Structural, electronic, and magnetic phase transitions in low-dimensional systems.
- Emergent quantum phenomena such as superconductivity, correlated insulating states, and topological phases.
- Quantum confinement, valleytronics, and excitonic effects in atomically thin materials.
- Atomic manufacturing and site-controlled manipulation of quantum nanostructures.
- Theoretical modeling and computational design of low-dimensional quantum 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.
