Section Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research on Nano Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS) has been intensively studied and the use of nanostructured materials for photonic or electronic devices has attracted considerable attention due to their unique geometry and properties. Beside conventional thin-film structures, nanomaterials in small dimensions including nanowires, nanotubes, nanoparticles,… can be perfectly integrated into a variety of technological platforms, offering novel physical and chemical properties for the high performance optoelectronic devices. The exploitation of new nanostructures and their optical and electrical properties is necessary for their emerging practical device applications. This research field has attracted researchers and be of great interest in the photonic and electronic communities.

Nanostructures have been considered as promising candidates for the high performance electronic and photonic devices. For instance, nanowires offer several distinct advantages including nearly free of dislocation and polarization field, resulted in the enhanced efficiency and output power of light-emitting diodes with emission wavelength can vary from deep ultraviolet to infrared. 2D nanomaterials, and nanoplasmonics can be efficiently used to enhance light absorption and emission in optoelectronics devices.

The NEMS of Nano Devices focuses on recent advances as well as new directions in these fields. Particularly, the scopes of this section are in the theoretical calculation, synthesis, characterization and application of novel materials, structures and their applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Theoretical simulation, fabrication and characterization of novel nanomaterials; Epitaxial growth of nanomaterials; materials and structures for high electron mobility transistors, field effect transistors, memory devices, light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, photodetectors, and solar cells; Nanoplasmonics; Nanoantenna; Photochemical water splitting and hydrogen generation using nanomaterials; Photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation; Nanostuctured catalysts; CO₂ photoreduction and photoelectrochemical CO₂ reduction.

We invite researchers to submit their original research as well as review articles that are fallen into the aforementioned scopes.
