Advanced Sensors in Atomic Level

Dear Colleagues,

The progress of modern information technology largely relies on the development of integrated circuits based on semiconductor silicon. Currently, due to inherent physical laws such as short-channel effects and limitations in manufacturing costs, further reducing the size of silicon transistors has become increasingly challenging. Integration and size reduction are crucial for sensors. Atomic-level materials have unique physical and chemical properties, bringing new possibilities for sensor development.

This Special Issue invites experts from relevant fields to share the latest progress including but not limited to the development of atomic-level materials (e.g., zero/one/two/three-dimensional materials, single-atom catalysts) for advanced sensors, detection technologies developed using atomic-level sensors, and detection technologies for atoms. Moreover, we also encourage the sharing of efforts made in applying these sensors in fields such as the environment, energy, health, and drugs to demonstrate their significant potential.

We invite the submission of original research papers, reviews, and perspectives that address the challenges and opportunities in this field. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

Sensors developed based on atomic-level materials;

The design of atomic-sized sensor device structures;

Advanced sensors for detecting atoms;

Advanced integration of atomic-level sensors;

Applications of atomic-level 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 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. 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.
