Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thin films based on metal oxides and organic materials are among the key materials used in photovoltaic/optoelectronic and sensing devices. Thin films based on these materials are often used in devices such as thin-film transistors, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photoconductors, light crystal displays, and sensors. Due to the large-scale effort from the engineering and science community, progress in these devices has rapidly increased over the past few decades. These devices are generally composed of single or multiple thin layers; therefore, charge transfer is considered to be a serious challenge. Several interfaces of engineering methods have been used to improve the performance of these devices. With the passage of time, different materials/fabrication processes and different techniques have been explored, and research efforts for innovations and performance improvement are continuing. Considering the importance of organic and inorganic thin films and their applications, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive collection of research from across the world that can be used for the development of advanced devices based on organic/metal oxide thin films.

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.
