Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Theoretical and experimental methods for diagnosing nanosystems are being actively developed. This makes it possible to determine with high spatial and temporal resolution of the complex structures and dynamics of physical processes that underlie promising devices in nanoelectronics and quantum sensors. The objects of study are often carbon nanostructures of various dimensions: from carbon nanotubes and graphene to diamond, as well as other single and polycrystals. The research tools are atomic force and electron microscopy; X-rays; ultrashort pulses; and various kinds of spectroscopy, including spin-optical, IR, and SW. These methods are complemented by positron annihilation spectroscopy, which is extremely sensitive to defects in the crystal lattice.

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. Crystals 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 2600 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.
