Tailoring Magnetic and Electronic Properties of Organic and Inorganic Nanostructures

Call for Papers

One of the promising routes to control matter at nanoscale is the autonomous ordering and assembly of atoms and molecules on atomically well-defined surfaces. The functional systems with nanometre dimensions can be achieved with the control over the shape, composition, and mesoscale organization of the surface structures. The possibility to tune the magnetic and electronic properties of nanostructures is important in view of possible applications in spintronics, nanoelectronics, and so forth. We invite authors to submit original researches and review articles regarding the magnetic and electronic characterization of organic and inorganic nanostructures, which are at the forefront of physics at nanoscale and/or with a perspective of applications.

We are particularly interested in papers describing one-dimensional or two-dimensional nanostructures that are expected to present high performance for processing information in electric/magnetic devices. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• The magnetic and electronic properties of organic and inorganic nanostructures
• The quantum-well states associated with the electron confinement on nanometer scale
• Physical properties of organic and inorganic low-dimensional nanostructures
• Spectroscopic studies of nanostructures

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/acmp/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
