Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce a forthcoming Special Issue in Nanomaterials focused on “Advanced Studies in Wide-Bandgap Nanomaterials and Devices”. This Special Issue will focus on the preparation technology, performance optimization, and application expansion of semiconductor materials, aiming to present readers with the latest trends and cutting-edge technologies in semiconductor materials.

This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers to share their innovative work on a broad spectrum of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:

1. Structural design and optimization for improving the performance of semiconductor materials and devices, including designing reasonable materials structures using DFT calculations and molecular dynamic simulations, and high-performance device structures using TCAD;
2. New preparation and doping technologies for regulating the properties of semiconductor materials, including achieving the precise control of semiconductor materials at the atomic scale, and adding an appropriate amount of impurity atoms in order to change their band structure, carrier concentration, and other performance parameters;
3. Surface treatment methods and technologies for improving the performance of semiconductor materials, including surface cleaning, etching, passivation, and other treatment methods;
4. Performance characterization for experimentally investigating wide-bandgap semiconductor nanomaterials, including their electrical, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties;
5. Diverse applications of wide-bandgap semiconductor nanomaterials, such as in energy converting, optoelectronic devices, power devices, and more.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials comprehensively introduces the latest research progress and technological challenges in the preparation technology, performance optimization, and application expansion of semiconductor materials.

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.
