Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional ferroelectric materials have attracted growing attention due to their unique polarization behavior, enhanced electrostatic control, and strong potential for nanoscale device integration. The discovery of stable ferroelectricity in two-dimensional, quasi-one-dimensional, and zero-dimensional systems has opened new opportunities for advanced functional devices beyond the limitations of conventional bulk ferroelectrics.
At the same time, neuromorphic devices inspired by biological neural systems have emerged as a promising approach for achieving energy-efficient and parallel information processing. Low-dimensional ferroelectrics, with their intrinsic nonvolatility and tunable polarization, offer an ideal platform for realizing artificial synapses and neurons.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in low-dimensional ferroelectrics and their applications in neuromorphic devices, covering material design, ferroelectric mechanisms, device architectures, and brain-inspired computing functionalities.

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-anonymized 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.
