Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser desorption ionization (LDI-MS) techniques allow for rapid, sensitive analysis of biomolecules such as proteins and peptides, as well as low molecular weight compounds requiring low sample volume. Great endeavors have been undertaken to propose organic matrices and inorganic materials with enhanced LDI-MS efficiency. Therefore, we would like to attract attention to advances in the studies for characterization of crystalline materials, their interactions with analytes, and subsequent applications in matrix-assisted and nano-assisted laser desorption/ionization. We encourage submissions reporting novel matrices for SALDI/NALDI/SELDI/MALDI techniques and their characterization using analytical techniques such as XRD, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), UV–Vis-NIR, DLS, microscopic techniques (SEM, TEM, AFM), etc. as well as advanced techniques for the characterization of plasmonic and optical properties of materials. Furthermore, we welcome original research articles, communications, and review papers on applications of new matrices in LDI-MS techniques for applications in various areas of research. We hope that the Special Issue ‘Interactions of Crystalline Materials in the Light of LDI-MS Efficiency’ will become a global interdisciplinary platform to discuss recent advances in LDI-MS techniques.

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). 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.
