Probe and Engineer Quantum Materials and Applications Using Novel Nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum materials and technology are important pillars of new optoelectronic circuits and systems and can be used to achieve a higher integration capacity and better devices. This Special Issue aims to advocate the use of novel NEMSs to detect and design quantum materials and applications. The aim is to revolutionize equipment applications by developing rugged and reliable NEMSs.

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMSs) have achieved outstanding results and have been driving force in recent developments. Nanomaterials consist of nanoparticles with zero- to multi-dimensional structures in a matrix and are known for their enhanced electrical, mechanical, and tribological properties at the nanoscale. In particular, advances in technology have enabled nanomaterials to be integrated into the interface of NEMS devices.

This Special Issue will cover the exploration and design of quantum materials and applications using novel NEMSs. These devices are suitable for a variety of purposes, including material properties/functions, basic design strategies, working mechanisms, and related applications in real-life scenarios.

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.
