Advanced Optoelectronic Sensors and Sensing Technology Based on Low-Dimensional Materials

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, a number of low-dimensional materials, represented by two-dimensional (2D) material, have been discovered that exhibit many characteristics that are absent in conventional bulk or thin-film materials. Extremely thin thickness enables the background carriers to be easily suppressed by a local electric field and enables performance enhancement by introducing a local light field with artificial micro–nano structures. Furthermore, novel physical and optoelectronic properties enable some new kinds of functional devices that dramatically reduce the dark current and associated noise and provide new ideas for advanced optoelectronic sensors and sensing technology.

This Special Issue will be an overview of the research progress in low-dimensional material optoelectronic sensors and sensing technology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Growth, and characterization of low-dimensional materials;

Optoelectronic sensor materials, processing and fabrication;

Photonic-crystal-enhanced optoelectronic sensors;

Simulations of low-dimensional material sensors;

Theory, principles, modeling and evaluation of optoelectronic sensors;

Machine/deep learning and artificial intelligence in sensing and imaging;

Applications of optoelectronic sensors in wearable sensors, devices and electronics.

We anticipate that this Special Issue will be of interest to our peers and newcomers in the field of low-dimensional material sensors.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors 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 2600 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.
