Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Basing on the success of the first edition of the Special Issue “Laser-Matter Interaction for Nanostructuration and Characterization: From Fundamentals to Sensing and Energy Applications”, we are glad to announce this Special Issue of Nanomaterials “Laser-Matter Interaction for Nanostructuration: From Fundamentals to Optical, Electrochemical, Magnetic and Electrical Quantum Sensing”.
Health care, global warming and climate change, sustainable energy production are key themes of the actual research. At the same time, nanomaterials represent one of the most important topics of 21st-century scientific and technological research. Thus, recent years have seen the exploitation of the nanomaterials potentialities in all the technological fields connected to human society challenges. Over the last few years, among the various fabrication methods, laser technology for nanoscale material synthesis and processing has seen an enormous development. In fact, the use of lasers has opened up new possibilities for material nanoprocessing because of a wide variety of nanostructures which can be obtained due to laser–matter interaction phenomena and controlling the laser process parameters.
Quantum sensing technology has become of enormous importance in recent years thanks to its particular versatility and unconventional responses, ranging from optical, electrochemical, magnetic and electrical sensing. For this Special Issue, we invite researchers to submit original research articles, letters, as well as review and prospective view articles on laser-matter interaction for nanostructuration applied to the production and characterization of quantum sensing materials.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
