Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern semiconductor technologies are of great interest for various optical applications. Planar layers, as well as structures with low dimensions including quantum wells, nanowires, and quantum dots due to their electron and optical properties pave the way for the study and development of light-emitting diodes and lasers, single photon emitters, elements of nonlinear optics, solar cells, and photodetectors which are the building blocks for state-of-the-art optoelectronic devices and integral schemes.
Currently, epitaxial technology allows fabricating nanoheterostructures with excellent crystalline quality. Especially, III–V, II–VI, and III-nitrides or oxides semiconductors providing energy band gap engineering and light confinement are considered to be promising platform for future optoelectronic applications. These materials can be synthesized not only on epitaxial substrates such as Si, GaAs, Ge, or InP, etc., but on optically transparent wafers including sapphire or even amorphous glass. Modern epitaxial technologies, such as molecular beam epitaxy, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, or atomic layer deposition enable the fabrication of complex heterostructures.
This Special Issue provides a venue for researchers to discuss the recent progress of epitaxial technologies, nanofabrication technique for the synthesis of materials, advanced characterization tools, and device processing that enables us to develop new emerging optic and optoelectronic applications based on semiconductors.

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.
