Superlattices and Microstructures is a journal disseminating the science and technology of synthetic heterostructures, including individual and collective use of semiconductors, metals and insulators for the exploitation of their unique properties. The journal hosts papers dealing with fundamental and applied experimental research as well as theoretical studies. Fields of interest, including emerging ones, cover:

  • Heterostructures, nanowires, quantum dots
  • Thin films, surfaces and interfaces
  • Photonics
  • Quantum electronics, optoelectronics
  • Plasmonics
  • Spintronics
  • Wide bandgap semiconductors, including organic materials, and related heterostructures and devices
  • Quantum information processing in the solid-state and related devices
  • Topological insulators
  • Novel or exploratory low-dimensional/2D-materials and devices
  • Novel photovoltaic (perovskites, etc.) and thermoelectric layered materials

In addition to Research Papers, the journal aims at publishing Topical Reviews providing insights into rapidly evolving or more mature fields. Written by leading researchers in their respective fields, those articles are commissioned by the Editorial Board.
