NOTE: IEEE has the processes in place to send the journal content to Elsevier for processing. We expect the journal articles appear in Scopus from January 2022.

We are delighted to announce that IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology (OJ-NANO) is now indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)™ by Clarivate Analytics, meaning that articles are now discoverable in Web of Science.

Launched in January 2020, gold open access IEEEOJ-NANO publishes novel and important engineering and scientific results at the nanoscale. Research results related to nanoscale devices, systems, materials, and their applications and underlying science are considered for peer-review and publication in this open access journal that is fully compliant with funder mandates, such as Plan S.

Since late 2015, ESCI provides Web of Science Core Collection™ users with expanded options to discover new areas of research in evolving disciplines, ensuring important research is visible in the Web of Science Core Collection. This development indicates increased visibility and profile for both the journal and its published articles, demonstrating IEEE OJ-NANO is a reliable and high-quality source of information in the field of nanotechnology. Furthermore, ESCI indexing is a necessary precursor to a journal being accepted in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)™ with an Impact Factor. IEEE OJ-NANO is now under consideration for SCIE.

A call for papers is now open for the IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits (JXCDC) special topic on “Cryogenic Semiconductor Devices and Circuits for Computing.” JXCDC is an “Open Access”  journal for publication of research using exploratory materials and devices aimed at novel energy efficient computation beyond standard CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistor technology.

Cryogenic semiconductor electronics is expected to have a re-birth due to advances in quantum computing, medical and scientific instrumentation, aviation, space exploration, etc. Emerging materials and physics can be leveraged for new cryogenic device-inherent behavior that can have system-level benefits. Cryogenic semiconductor devices including transistors, emerging resistive memories, and other device types as the basis, can innovate the entire computing stack from materials to systems and thus re-define how computation can be done. Looking forward, the realm of cryogenic electronics is inspired by the new and continually emerging understanding of cryogenic semiconductor physics applications.

This call for papers is on emerging cryogenic semiconductor devices and circuits for high performance computation. The focus and emphasis of these special topic papers is beyond Josephson junctions based devices and circuits; such as single flux quantum (SFQ), etc. Some example topics of interest include cryogenic memories, short-range and long-range connectivity in the devices and circuits, etc. Papers are encouraged that address new emerging functionality at cryogenic temperatures at all levels (materials, device, circuits, and systems), including showing at a system level how such advanced functions can be useful for computing tasks and understanding the system-level energy efficiency and speed.

Topics of Interest:

• CryoCMOS
• Physics of operation and device/circuit performance of different semiconductor materials at cryogenic temperatures: Si, Ge, GaN, SiC, III-V etc
• The potential of operation at cryogenic temperatures for emerging materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, ferroelectrics etc.
• Memory operation at cryogenic temperatures, including: DRAM, floating gate/charge trapping, and emerging memories (e.g. MRAM, RRAM, PCM, FeFETs, etc)
• Analog, digital electronics circuits for general purpose computing, graphics and AI
• Short- and long-range connectivity in cryogenic devices and circuits
• System-circuit-device co-design for cryogenic semiconductor electronics
• Prototypes, simulation, and theory all welcome

For complete details see the Call for Papers at JXCDC.

IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology (OJ-NANO) is a new gold fully open access journal launched in 2020 by IEEE Nanotechnology Council. It publishes research advancing the theory, design and development of nanotechnology and its scientific, engineering and industrial applications.

CALL FOR PAPERS: SPECIAL ISSUE/SECTION

IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology (OJ-NANO)
Special Issue on “Emerging Plasma Nanotechnologies”

The high level of attention and interest to nanoscience and nanotechnology to a large extent is linked to the continuing growth of information society. The development of nanoscience and nanotechnology are carried out by interdisciplinary cooperation among academic and industrial researchers. Plasma technology is the key driver to such development. IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology (OJ-NANO) will publish collected papers in Special Issue on “Emerging Plasma Nanotechnologies“. This special issue will shed light on recent progresses on nanoscience and nanotechnology based on low pressure plasma, atmospheric plasma, and plasma simulation, whereas it will also suggest directions for future research.

Manuscripts for OJ-NANO must be prepared using the “IEEE manuscript template” and “Information for Authors” at https://oj-nano.ieeenano.org/submitting-an-article/; and be submitted on-line via the IEEE Manuscript Central found at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oj-nano. On submission to OJ-NANO, authors should select the “Special Issue: Plasma Nanotechnologies” as a manuscript type instead of “Regular Paper.” Manuscripts must focus on nanotechnology as reflected by technical contents and references.
