Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation electronic/optoelectronic devices due to their unique electronic and optical properties. Strain engineering provides a powerful tool to precisely modulate these properties, enabling enhanced performance and novel functionalities in photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and other optoelectronic systems. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advances in strain-mediated control of two-dimensional materials and their applications in optoelectronics.
We invite original research articles and reviews covering topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Mechanisms of strain-induced modulation in electronic/optoelectronic two-dimensional materials;
- Novel strain application methods and advanced characterization techniques in two-dimensional materials;
- Theoretical and computational modeling of two-dimensional strain engineering;
- Applications in flexible and stretchable electronic/optoelectronic devices;
- Integration of strain-engineered materials into functional devices.
This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in this rapidly evolving field, fostering innovation for future optoelectronic technologies. We welcome contributions from researchers working on experimental, theoretical, and applied aspects of strain engineering in two-dimensional materials.

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. Optics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
