Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As silicon-based CMOS technology is approaching its limits in scaling, two-dimensional (2D) materials with atomically thin natures and outstanding physical properties have attracted rapidly growing interest in recent years. Benefiting from their advantages in suppressing short channel effects and the potential of electrostatic modulation, 2D materials represent one of the most promising candidates for next-generation sub-5 nm scale computing electronics. Following the boom of graphene, a family of 2D materials with a variety of physical properties has been revealed, including insulators (e.g., h-BN), semiconductors (e.g., MoS2), and semimetals (e.g., PtTe2). As well as pristine 2D materials, due to their dangling-free surfaces, LEGO-like vdW heterostructures are appealing for the realization of enhanced applications. In the last decade, the unprecedented development of 2D materials has been witnessed in many applications, including electronics, optoelectronics, spintronics, MEMS/NEMS, sensors, etc.
This Special Issue aims to address the recent advancements in the growth and applications of 2D materials. The corresponding material systems in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, 2D materials, including 1D semiconductor nanowires; 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) materials; perovskite; oxides; and related vdW heterostructures. The applications include field-effect transistors, optoelectronics, flexible electronics, memristors and neuromorphic computing, sensors, etc. We warmly welcome original research articles and reviews focusing on growth mechanisms, characterizations, physical properties, theoretical calculations, and different applications of low-dimensional materials. We believe this Special Issue can provide a comprehensive presentation of the latest research findings and promote the practical applications of 2D 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. Crystals 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
