Semiconductor Nanowires: Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Semiconductor nanowires are designed materials showing one or more functionalities that can be significantly changed in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as stress, moisture, electric or magnetic fields, light, temperature, pH, or chemical compounds. One dimensional nanomaterials are materials with typical size features in the lower nanometer size range and characteristic mesoscopic properties. These properties make them attractive objects of fundamental research and potential new applications. The scope of Special Issues—Semiconductor Nanowires: Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications.

Topics:

1. Semiconductor Nanowires are the basis of many applications, including environmental and bio-chemical sensors, optoelectronic and piezoelectric materials, energy harvesting materials, field effect transistors, and field emission devices, photocatalysts, etc.
2. One Dimensional Nanomaterials are the basis of many applications, including single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), multiple-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), nanotubes, nanowires, nanostructured frameworks, surface coating technologies, nanocomposites, self-assemblies, characterization, etc.
3. Methodologies: (1) synthesis of Semiconductor Nanowires, (2) characterization of mesoscopic properties, (3) modeling computation of Semiconductor Nanowires (or One Dimensional Nanomaterials) or mesoscopic effects.
4. Applications: new applications of Semiconductor One Dimensional Nanomaterials.

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-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.
