Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the functionalization, via emerging materials, fabrication, and testing of THz tunnelling MIM diodes, memristors, and FETs. Applications ranging from telecommunication, to sensing and 3D imaging (such as that using neuromorphic chips), to non-volatile information storage and processing are also highlighted.
Recently, memristors made from 2D materials have gained enormous attention. These materials offer advantages such as a low switching voltage, reduced power consumption due to an ultrathin body, and an absence of dangling bonds that can cause scalability issues with ultrathin oxides. The choice of insulating material is crucial for MIM tunneling diodes and FETs. Recently, 2D insulating and semiconducting materials, respectively, have been used for designing and simulating MIM tunneling diodes and FETs. Thus, functional materials play a crucial role in the performance and behavior of these electronic components, impacting their applications and scalability.

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. Materials 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 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.
