Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Plasmas are ionized gases formed by fast free electrons from molecules and atoms after external energy sources have been applied to a gaseous or liquid medium. Once derived, the charged particles (electrons and ions) are accelerated and capable of ionizing, exciting, and dissociating surrounding gas molecules and atoms. In such a way, plasma becomes a reservoir of chemically reactive species that can interact mutually or with surrounding solids and liquids under different conditions of input energy, power, pressure, medium composition, etc., thereby forming stoichiometric and/or non-stoichiometric particles and composite (nano)materials with various morphologies and properties.
The field of laser development has bloomed over the few last decades, producing versatile lasers for various purposes, including material synthesis and modification, precise measuring techniques, and methods for the analysis of synthesized materials and their overall physicochemical properties.
This Special Issue focuses primarily on cutting-edge topics related to inorganic synthesis, fabrication, modification, degradation, and analysis under laser-supported plasma conditions. However, the submission of original articles related to inorganic synthesis and analyses in current-generated plasmas in combination with laser plasmas or laser-based measurements is also encouraged.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
