Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pulsed laser ablation (PLA) has been consolidated in recent decades as an attractive and versatile technique for the synthesis of different species of inorganics nanomaterials, in the form of colloidal nanoparticles in both liquid and thin films, comprising metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics. Depending on the particular choice of target and external environment, nanocomposites (inorganics or organic/inorganics) or nanoalloys may also be synthesized without complex experimental protocols. The technique allows the synthesis of functional nanomaterials and thin films with controlled magnetic, plasmonic or luminescent properties, which may be used in applications ranging from opto-electronics to biology.
The present Special Issue aims to collect original research demonstrating advances in the control and/or comprehension of the following issues related to inorganics nanomaterials synthesized by PLA:
- Composition, morphology, or dimensions;
- Physicochemical properties: optical (plasmonic, luminescence), magnetic, catalytic, biocompatibility;
- Functionality in a relevant field: opto-electronics, biology, environmental, and sustainable energy;
- Complexity of the chemical–physical mechanisms involved in the generation of 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. 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.
