JSTQE Nanowires 2011 - JOURNAL OF SELECTED TOPICS IN QUANTUM ELECTRONICS on Nanowires

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions on nanowires. Nanowires are considered as building blocks for the next generation of electronics, photonics, energy, sensors and biomedical applications. One dimensional nanowire structures offer unique opportunities to control properties of semiconductors such as density of states, transport of electrons and photons. Another important feature of nanowires is to enable growth of heterostructures of materials with large lattice and thermal mismatch without creating dislocations. This provides an unprecedented flexibility to create a broad range of structures with a combination of materials for a variety of applications. Nanowires may lead to the integration of microelectronic devices on silicon with optoelectronic and photonic devices based on compound semiconductors.
Topics covered in the special issue include (and not limited to):
(i)
group IV, II-VI, III-V semiconductors, nitrides, oxides, chalcopyrites, chalcogenides and other optical materials
(ii)
growth, synthesis, fabrication, patterning and assembly
(iii)
control of size, geometry, shape, position, composition, doping, heterostructures (axial and radial)
(iv)
optical, optoelectronic properties
(v)
theory, modeling and simulations
(vi)
lasers, LEDs, detectors, solar cells, waveguides, optical sensors, optical switches, non-linear optical devices and others
(vii)
photonics, plasmonics, energy applications
The Guest Editors for this issue are: Chennupati Jagadish, Australian National University - Canberra, Australia; Kimberly Dick-Thelander, Lund University - Lund, Sweden; Ray LaPierre, McMaster University ? Hamilton, Canada; Junichi Motohisa, Hokkaido University ? Sapporo, Japan.
The deadline for submission of manuscripts is July 1, 2010; electronic publication will appear as soon as the manuscripts are accepted; publication of the entire special issue is scheduled for print in July/August, 2011. **Please note: Accepted papers will be rapid posted online in IEEE Xplore ideally within six weeks after author has uploaded his/her final files online, if there should be no changes or correction to the final manuscript during the author’s proof stage.

For all papers published in JSTQE, there are voluntary page charges of $110.00 per page for each page up to eight pages. Invited papers can be twelve pages and Contributed papers should be 8 pages in length before overlength page charges of $220.00 per page are levied. The length of each paper is estimated when it is received. Authors of papers that appear to be overlength are notified and given the option to shorten the paper. Additional charges will apply if color figures are required.
The following supporting documents are required during manuscript submission:
