Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current state-of-art of photonics allows for tuning the opto-electronic properties of the materials, rendering high performance systems intended for many technological advances. Within this context, semiconductor nanomaterials play nowadays a chief role in countless (photo/opto-)electronic devices and applications, whose properties are tightly linked to their microstructure. Thus, the design of customized functionalities relies on playing with different combinations of materials (including alloying), their morphology and environment (size, shape, relative orientation, etc.), attainable through optimized synthesis and processing strategies.
This Special Issue focusses on new advances achieved in semiconductor materials. The research topics cover semiconductor synthesis and (micro/nano-)processing, characterization, applications and devices, with special interest on complex nano-architectures, novel material systems, new/improved synthesis and processing procedures, high-resolution characterization techniques, etc.

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.
