Applied Physics and Nanomaterials (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is focused on contributions devoted to the most current applied physics research. This Special Issue touches on technological advances within the topic of materials, such as the development of processing–structure–property–performance relationships, the design of multifunctional and nanocomposite coatings for specific applications, and size effects. Additional emphasis is given to improving practical investigations, such as experimental plasma and laser technologies, nuclear physics and experimental particle physics for extreme environments, along with advances in instrumentation and measurement techniques. This Special Issue will also be devoted to contributions on various research and developments in biophysics and biotechnology, thereby providing insight into the current developments in these fields. Among advanced technologies, special emphasis is placed on efficient materials for energy-generating and energy-storing elements to support the European Green Deal and Sustainable Development Goals. This includes solid-state batteries, ultra-capacitors, composite-based graphene for energy-storage devices, as well as energy converters, including organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and low-power-consumption (green) light emitters.  

This Special Issue is associated with the “The 21st International Balkan Workshop on Applied Physics and Materials Science”. It focuses on Applied Physics and Nanomaterials. Submissions from participants to the conference and non-participants are equally encouraged, as long as they fall within the scope of the Special Issue. We hope that this Special Issue will be of great interest to leading researchers, engineers, and scientists from around the world.

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.
