Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of fundamental theories, such as solid-state physics, quantum mechanics and energy band theory, not only accelerates the development of semiconductor physics, but also makes semiconductor device manufacturing gradually develop into energy band engineering-based device manufacturing. Compared with the traditional silicon-based semiconductors, the III-V group compound semiconductors represented by GaAs, GaP and InP possess the features of high band-gap width, electron mobility and electron saturation rate, making them more applicable for high-speed, high-frequency and high-power optoelectronic devices under high temperature and intense irradiance conditions. Moreover, the low-dimensional limited structure materials consisting of II-VI group semiconductors like CdS, CdTe and CdSe further diversify the material systems for optoelectronic devices. Meanwhile, halide perovskite has experienced rapid development in both fundamental research and applications in different devices. These devices are widely used in photovoltaic solar cells, power electronic devices, lasers, chemical and biological detection and semiconductor lighting, inducing a series of scientific problems in the interdisciplinary field of physics, optics, material science, optoelectronics, and so on. This Special Issue aims to collect the latest research progress of such semiconductors in the field of solar cell, solid-state physics, optics and optoelectronics, and to explore the basic scientific theories and practical technical applications.

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.
