Themed Collection: Epitaxial growth of nanostructures and their properties

Epitaxial growth of nanostructures and their properties

Guest edited by Jin Zou

We are delighted to present to you a diverse set of works showcasing the development of epitaxial nanostructures, in which their outstanding properties are obtained due to the epitaxy.

 

 

A key fabrication technique for nanoscale materials is the bottom-up approach. Epitaxial growth allows the grown nanostructures to have well defined orientation relationships, crystallographic directions/planes, crystal structures/phases, and facets/interfaces with their underlying substrates. Such unique features are often essential for securing their unique and high-efficient applications.

In the recent decades, epitaxial growth has been widely employed to grow various advanced nanostructures, including semiconductor nanostructures (such as quantum dots, semiconductor nanowires and quantum wells), 2D nanostructures (including ultra-thin nanosheets), and hierarchical nanostructured metal-organic frameworks (MOF-on-MOF).

This themed collection features work covering the development of these three groups of epitaxial nanostructures, in which their outstanding properties are obtained due to the epitaxy. Articles are published in Nanoscale Advances so they are all open access and freely available.

 

A small selection of papers are featured below:

Epitaxial growth of crystal phase quantum dots in III–V semiconductor nanowires
Miguel Sinusia Lozano and Víctor J. Gómez
Nanoscale Adv., 2023, 5, 1890-1909

Complications in silane-assisted GaN nanowire growth
Nian Jiang, Saptarsi Ghosh, Martin Frentrup, Simon M. Fairclough, Kagiso Loeto, Gunnar Kusch, Rachel A. Oliver and Hannah J. Joyce
Nanoscale Adv., 2023, 5, 2610-2620

Polarization-dependent plasmonic heating in epitaxially grown multilayered metal–organic framework thin films embedded with Ag nanoparticles
Kenji Okada, Risa Mashita, Arisa Fukatsu and Masahide Takahashi
Nanoscale Adv., 2023, 5, 1795-1801

 

We hope you enjoy reading the special collection!

Call For Papers: Theranostic nanoplatforms for biomedicine

Call For Papers: Theranostic nanoplatforms for biomedicine

Guest edited by Nguyen T. K. Thanh, Sophie Laurent, Sylvie Begin-Colin and Teresa Pellegrino ‬‬

We are delighted to announce a call for papers for our latest online themed collection in Nanoscale on Theranostic nanoplatforms for biomedicine that is being guest edited by Professor Nguyen T. K. Thanh (University College London, UK), Professor Sophie Laurent (University of Mons, Belgium), Professor Sylvie Begin-Colin (University of Strasbourg, France) and Professor Teresa Pellegrino (Italian Institute of Technology, Italy).

Theranostic nanoplatforms for biomedicine open call for papers promotional graphic. Guest edited by Nguyen T.K. Thanh, Sophie Laurent, Sylvie Begin-Colin and Teresa Pellegrino. Open for submissions until 31 March 2024.

 

For nanomedicine to fill its promise, either direct intratumoral injection or active targeting with affinity ligands to achieve favourable specificity and biodistribution profiles is critical for accurate detection, monitoring and therapeutic efficacy. Such smart approaches, when translated to clinical uses, will have a great impact on the management of cancer and other diseases to improve patient survival and quality of life. However, for further clinical translation of nanoplatforms, a key step is their scale-up.

This new collection in Nanoscale focuses on the design of multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials for theranostics in biomedicine, with a focus on the scaling-up of these nanomaterials for translational studies. The scope of this collection loosely aligns with an accompanying symposium held at the 2023 Spring E-MRS meeting: Symposium J – Design and scaling up of theranostic nanoplatforms for health: towards translational studies, in Strasbourg, from 29 May – 2 June 2023. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Design, synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles: inorganic, polymers, liposomes, dendrimers
  • Targeting strategies
  • Multimodal Imaging (e.g., MRI, MPI, SPECT, PET)
  • Multimodal therapy (e.g., hyperthermia, curie therapy)
  • Drug delivery
  • Nanotoxicology
  • In vitro and in vivo validation of nanoplatforms combining multimodal imaging and therapies
  • Scaling-up strategies of nanoplatform synthesis
  • New synthesis processes taking into account good manufacturing practice (GMP) and environmental considerations

This call for papers is open for the following article types:

  • Communications
  • Full papers

Open for submissions until 31 March 2024

If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, you can submit your article directly through the Nanoscale online submission system. Please mention that this submission is a contribution to the Theranostic nanoplatforms for biomedicine collection in the “Themed issues” section of the submission form and add a “Note to the Editor” that this is from the Open Call. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of both the journal and the collection, and inclusion of accepted articles in the final themed issue is not guaranteed.

Please also note that all submissions will undergo our normal rigorous peer review processes including an initial assessment prior to peer review, and that peer review and acceptance are not guaranteed.

If you have any questions about the journal or the collection, then Edward Gardner, the Development Editor for Nanoscale, would be happy to answer them. You can contact him by emailing the journal inbox.

With best wishes,

Professor Nguyen T. K. Thanh, University College London, UK
Professor Sophie Laurent, University of Mons, Belgium
