Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique to obtain nanostructured materials is more popular than ever. The possibility of tailoring the stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric one-step synthesis of nanostructures is one of PLD’s unique features among deposition techniques. The wide range of possible applications of the nanostructured materials made by PLD, from electronics to biocompatible and photocatalytic, is the driving force behind the research popularity of PLD. The mediated strain induced functionality in thin films, nanostructured plasmonic materials, or nanoengineered interfaces in multiferroic thin films all obtained by PLD are also topics to be addressed within this Special Issue. In the quest for new methods to produce nanostructured materials pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLDL) has gained increasing interest for nanoparticles (NPs) generation due to its versatility, ease of use, and environmental sustainability.The format of welcomed articles includes full papers, communications, and reviews.
