Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural, electrical, phonon, and thermodynamic characteristics of bulk semiconductor alloys and heterostructures (multi-quantum wells (MQWs) and superlattices (SLs)) have provided strong foundations for the advancement of modern technology. These efforts have helped scientists and engineers to design electronic devices to meet growing societal needs, viz., photovoltaics, fuel cells, batteries, thermo-electrics, and photonics as well as information and data storage for biological and medical applications. This Special Issue on “Growth, Structural Identification, and Characterization of Semiconductor Alloys and Low-Dimensional Heterostructures” deals with different aspects of novel bulk elemental (group IV) and/or compound semiconductors (e.g., III-V, III-N, II-VI, and IV-IV), their alloys, and low-dimensional heterostructures—especially for comprehending their structural, electronic, vibrational, and thermal transport characteristics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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 2100 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.
