Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, nanostructured materials have attracted significant attention owing to their unique optical, electrical, and mechanical features that were endowed by confining the sizes and dimensions of such materials as well as due to the excellent combination of macro properties and micro effects for the overall characteristics. Beyond the great efforts that were devoted to the synthesis and characterizations of novel nanostructured materials, the research community has been focusing on obtaining in-depth insights on the unprecedented physical properties and transforming advances into the design of diverse device applications, particularly opto-/electronics, in solving practical problems that the traditional materials cannot address.
This Special Issue entitled “Physical Properties of Nanostructured Materials and Related Opto-/electronic Devices” attempts to consolidate (but is not limited to) recent developments and investigations in the broader area of nanostructured materials with emphasis placed on their fundamental physical properties, as well as their application in various opto-/electronics, such as photovoltaic cells, photodetectors, light-emitting devices, (photo-)transistors, memory, photocatalysis, thermoelectric devices, and so on. The issue will collate reviews and progress reports that discuss the past, present, and future of opto-/electronic technologies enabled by nanostructured materials along with original papers and communications on experimental and modeling works.

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.
