Advanced Inorganic Semiconductor Materials: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The information technology revolution has been based decisively on the development and application of inorganic semiconductors. Conventional devices utilize bulk semiconductors in which charge carriers are free to move in all three spatial directions. For example, silicon forms the basis of most electronic devices, whilst compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) are used for many optoelectronic applications. Recently, with the global boom in graphene research, more and more atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) inorganic materials have gained significant interest. Besides their promising applications in various ultrathin, transparent and flexible nanodevices, 2D materials could also serve as ideal models for establishing clear structure−property relationships in the field of solid-state physics and nanochemistry.

Despite the significant advances in the previous decade, opportunities and challenges remain in this field. This Special Issue aims to highlight the most current research and ideas in inorganic semiconductors, especially semiconductors based on 2D materials. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas include, but are not limited to, the experimental fabrication and characterization, as well as the electronic, electrical, magnetic, optoelectronic and thermal properties of inorganic semiconductors.

As will be seen in this Special Issue, inorganic semiconductors exhibit a wide range of new and unusual properties, which can be employed to fabricate improved and novel electronic and electro-optical devices. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Inorganics 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 2700 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.
