Low-dimensional material systems is a rapidly evolving area of science and engineering that promises to create new techniques to manufacture devices and develop advanced technology. Novel nanofabrication is fundamentally changing the way materials and devices will be produced and will be central to the next era of technology. The capability of developing processes for the fabrication of materials at the nanometer-scale and applying their unique properties to device applications will have a tremendous impact on nanotechnology, industry and society. In spite of a number of advantages and the outstanding properties of low-dimensional materials such as one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, the scalable fabrication of 1D and 2D nanomaterials is still a challenging research topic in terms of fabrication cost, the quality of the product and manufacturability.

Research topics of interest may include the Computational studies of hybrid nanomaterials consisting of 1D and 2D materials, the fabrication of nanomaterials based on ‘top-down approach’ and ‘bottom-up approach’, graphene and 2D materials other than graphene, the low-cost fabrication of low-dimensional materials, new carbon nanomaterials, the manufacturing of nanomaterials, computational studies of low-dimensional materials, defects in nanomaterials and nano-characterization techniques.
