Call for Papers-Special Issue TNANO LETTERS

Nanomechanics and Nanomanipulation of Low-Dimensional Nanomaterials

IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE-NANO 2019)

With the rapid developments of low-dimensional (1D and 2D) nanomaterials in the last decades, critical issues
emerge regarding the precise manipulation and mechanical characterization of individual nanoscale building
blocks for their further electronic and functional applications. Various nanomanipulation and characterization
systems (such as AFM-atomic force microscopy, optical tweezers, magnetic field control, nanoindentation
techniques, etc) had been proposed since the 1990s. With the help of scanning and transmission electron
microscopy (SEM and TEM) as well as super-resolution optical microscopes, researchers now have the power to
manipulate and measure individual nanostructures with an intuitionistic, real-time, and in situ way, which
effectively accelerated the characterization and application of these nanomaterials in electronics, mechatronic
and biomedical fields. Despite these fascinating progresses, mechanics is the fundamental branch of natural
science, which concerned with the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to force or displacement, which
remains critical for structures at the nanoscale. Due to their nanosizes and high surface-area-to-volume ratio,
superior and unconventional mechanical properties, low-dimensional nanomaterials have significant influences
on their integration and real-device performance of the low-dimensional nanosystems.
The “Letters” Section (i.e., maximum of 4 pages of manuscript) in the IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology
(TNANO) will devote a themed issue on “Nanomechanics and Nanomanipulation of Low-Dimensional
Nanomaterials” to a collection of papers reflecting a more focused scope of the IEEE-NANO 2019
conference, especially highlighting research and technology development in the field of electronic and electrical
engineering, M/NEMS, micro/nanofabrication, nanomechanical sensors and actuators, micro/nanorobotics, and
1D/2D nanomaterials' mechanical behavior and deformation mechanism. We are accepting submissions only
from authors who have submitted abstracts for review to the conference, and invited speakers including Invite
Sessions, Keynote, and Plenary Speakers. Authors whose abstract has been accepted by the conference and
will submit full paper for IEEE Xplore Database inclusion MUST significantly expand and improve the previous
conference version to contain substantially new technical results for consideration of this Special Issue. (Please
refer to the information in the following website for IEEE TNANO regulations:
https://site.ieee.org/tnano/author-info/
All submitted manuscripts will undergo a full peer review process. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Mechanical design of novel nanomanipulation and nanorobotic systems
  • in situ SEM/TEM/SPM mechanical characterization of 1D (nanowire/nanotube) and 2D (graphene/MoS2 etc.)
    nanomaterials
  • Modeling and simulation of mechanical properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials, based on first principles,
    molecular dynamics, etc
  • Mechanical properties of nanoelectronics and electromechanical systems and flexible electronics
  • Electromechanical properties, fatigue properties, interfacial properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials
    and their solid/liquid interfaces

Accepted papers are published on the web in IEEE Xplore as soon as they are submitted in final form.
Web-published papers have a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), and are fully citable and downloadable.
Submissions are solicited from conference participants and other researchers in the field of original research
and perspectives and mini-reviews on emerging topics for this themed issue. Papers submitted to the “Letters”
