Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electronic and magnetic properties are the two key aspects that determine the characteristics and potential applications of a material. The transition from 3D to 2D leads to dramatic changes in electronic band structure, electron correlation effects, magnetic exchange and anisotropy, quantum confinement effects, and electron–phonon interactions in materials. This gives rise to a wealth of exciting emergent electronic and magnetic properties that are unseen in the bulk form. Harnessing these unique characteristics of 2D materials presents new opportunities to develop next-generation microelectronic, spintronic, and quantum information technologies.

We are pleased to invite authors to contribute to this Special Issue focusing on the latest theoretical and experimental developments in the electronic and magnetic properties investigation of 2D nanomaterials, as well as the related 2D materials synthesis, characterization, device fabrication, and the potential electronic applications.

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 2900 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.

Edge magnetism in zigzag nanoribbons of monolayer MoS2 has been investigated with both density functional theory and a tight-binding plus Hubbard (TB+U) Hamiltonian. Both methods revealed that one band crossing the Fermi level is more strongly influenced by spin polarization than any other bands. This band originates from states localized on the sulfur edge of the nanoribbon. Its dispersion closely resembles that of the energy branch obtained in a linear chain of atoms with first-neighbor interaction. By exploiting this resemblance, a toy model has been designed to study the energetics of different spin configurations of the nanoribbon edge. Full article
