Quantum Materials for Electronic Devices

Dear Colleagues，

The rapid evolution of quantum materials and nanomaterials presents exciting opportunities for advancing modern electronics. This Special Issue explores the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of materials and nanostructures that exhibit novel electrical, magnetic, optical, or thermal transport properties. It drives diverse applications in information technology, energy conversion, sensing, and emerging functional systems.

We invite contributions that integrate experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches to uncover mechanisms and to demonstrate device concepts across diverse application domains. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

    Quantum materials for transistors, memories, sensors, and energy devices;

    Resistive switching, nonlinear transport, and phase transition phenomena;

    Low-dimensional, hybrid, and interface-engineered materials;

    Spin, charge, and heat transport in nanoscale/microscale systems;

    Advanced characterization and modeling of quantum materials;

    Integration of emerging materials with semiconductor platforms;

    Emerging paradigms in information processing, including neuromorphic and energy-efficient computing.

By connecting materials innovation and device functionality, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive view of how quantum and nanomaterials can drive the next wave of functional, scalable, and sustainable technologies.

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.
