Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Materials scaled down to the size of nano are normally too small to be seen with the naked eye and even with conventional optical microscopes, but nanostructures often present intriguing properties in physics, chemistry and biology. Low-dimensional semiconductor nanomaterials, including nanoparticles (0D); nanoribbons, nanowires and nanorods (1D); and atomic layered materials (2D), normally have exotic properties in electronics, optics and magnetics due to the quantum confinement effect. With the deep understanding of the exotic properties of low-dimensional semiconductor nanomaterials through the intensive and extensive fundamental studies of various nanostructure preparation and characterization approaches, related technology on the basis of using nanomaterials is thus becoming significant for its potential to change the daily lives of human beings. Innovations in nanotechnology are also changing dramatically with each passing day, from fundamental studies in research labs to practical industrial applications.
In this context, we, in collaboration with the Editors of Nanomaterials, are organizing a Special Issue on the topic of “Low-Dimensional Semiconductor Nanomaterials: Preparation, Characterization and Application”. The aim of this Special Issue is to elucidate the state-of-the-art of this fast-growing field of research from both fundamental and application perspectives. We are pleased to invite authors who have made important contributions to this field to submit articles in the form of full papers, communications, and reviews. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanostructure preparations of semiconductor materials and studies of the relevant novel properties in electronics, optics and magnetics;
- Nanofabrication of semiconductor devices based on advanced nanotechnology;
- Fundamental studies of novel physical properties of surfaces and interfaces of 2D semiconductor nanomaterials.

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.
