Aims & Scope

Aims:

Low-Dimensional Materials (LDM) aims to establish itself as a leading international platform for pioneering research on the science and technology of low-dimensional systems. The journal will publish high-impact original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and highlights focusing on the fundamental understanding, innovative synthesis, advanced characterization, and transformative applications of 0D, 1D, and 2D materials. It seeks to bridge the gap between nanoscale physics, materials chemistry, and engineering, covering applications in quantum technologies, nanoelectronics, energy systems, biomedicine, and beyond. The journal will serve as a nexus for researchers across materials science, condensed matter physics, nanotechnology, chemistry, and device engineering. Published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope:

The journal encompasses but is not limited to:

  • Dimension-specific phenomena: Quantum confinement, edge effects, and surface-dominated properties in 0D (quantum dots), 1D (nanowires/nanotubes), and 2D (atomically thin layers) systems
  • Emergent low-dimensional architectures: van der Waals heterostructures, moiré superlattices, topological materials, and hybrid dimensional composites
  • Device-oriented research: Low-dimensional materials in transistors, photodetectors, spintronic devices, flexible electronics, and quantum computing platforms
  • Energy applications: Nanoscale materials for batteries, supercapacitors, photocatalysis, thermoelectrics, and hydrogen evolution
  • Biomedical interfaces: Low-dimensional systems for biosensing, drug delivery, bioimaging, and neural interfaces
  • Advanced synthesis: Bottom-up growth, exfoliation techniques, defect engineering, and scalable manufacturing
  • Characterization breakthroughs: Atomic-resolution imaging, in situ spectroscopy, and machine learning-driven analysis
  • Theory & computation: First-principles modeling of low-dimensional systems, AI-guided material discovery
  • Sustainability focus: Environmental impact assessment and green synthesis of low-dimensional materials
