Call for papers for the Special issue: Insight - Physics

The Introduction of the Special Issue

"Insight - Physics" was inspired by the need to bring together current and contemporary contributions in the field of Physics, which highlight some of the probing questions and challenges in the fields of nano-materials, condensed matter, new heterogeneous semiconductor devices, astrophysics and photonics. At present, nano-materials are most widely applied to the area of drug development, where their toxicity is actively being studied. In Physics, there is a flurry of research activity at present to design, fabricate and characterize novel 3D nano-structure. However, the issue of their characterizations through existing instrumentation remains a significant challenge due to the scale, which hampers their application in actual devices such as nano-interconnects and transistors. The associated problem of semi-empirical validation remains due to the general unavailability of experimental data. This issue therefore presents a useful review of the state of nano-material characterization. The issue also focuses on composite devices comprising of heterogeneous semiconductors with metallic interconnects, which present a next logical step in the application of nanotechnology to devices. This issue also presents articles on key areas of modern condensed matter and solid-state physics, with special emphasis on structures, electrical and magnetic properties. The articles on Physics Education have been included because of the identified need and relevance of raising the awareness of Physics to the undergraduate readership and their instructors.
