Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study and design of materials for molecular electronics and nanoelectronics as quantum materials represent a burgeoning technological frontier. This field encompasses the science and technology involved in understanding, designing, and producing electronic devices that leverage these properties. By exploring the interactions at metal–molecule–semiconductor junctions and other solid-state phenomena, researchers aim to advance our knowledge and capabilities in electronics. These advancements are poised to propel future computer technology well beyond the constraints of silicon, potentially revolutionizing the capabilities of electronic devices and systems.
We welcome contributions to the Special Issue “Molecular Electronics and Nanoelectronics for Quantum Materials” in Processes. Researchers and practitioners from various aspects of materials science are encouraged to submit papers that can further the understanding and practical applications of these advanced materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, developments in molecular electronics, nanoelectronics, and the study of quantum materials. This Special Issue provides a platform for disseminating innovative research, fostering collaboration, and driving the technological innovations needed to push the forefront of electronic device capabilities.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
