Semiconductor Hetero-Nanostructures for Opto-Electronics Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Semiconductor Hetero-Nanostructures are part of a high-profile class of materials that provide unprecedented levels of functionality and precision. This has already led to ground-breaking applications in opto-electronics, and enables a route for the development of new technologies in key areas, such as telecommunication, information processing, sensing, nano(bio)medicine etc. In addition, nanoscale devices are also well suited to study a new physics, in particular in low dimensional systems. This issue will provide a platform to discuss new nanodevice structures and novel nano-materials for Opto-Electronics at different stages of development to find the ways towards industrial applications. The topics will include the latest developments of novel Semiconductor Hetero-Nanostructures used in lasers (edge emitters, VCSELs, QCLs, microdisk emitters), photodetectors, optical amplifiers, optical switches, waveguides and optoelectronic  devices as well as new device applications based on such nanostructures. It will bring insight into the relevant material parameters that play a key role in device functionality, as well as the overall device design and resulting physics.

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.
