Theory and Applications of Superconductivity

Dear Colleagues,

Superconductivity is a fascinating and challenging field of physics. This importance is infinitely more than physics phenomena of the first order.  It may be one of the fundamental linking mechanisms in an unlimited and connected universe. For nearly 75 years, superconductivity has been a relatively obscure subject. Today, however, superconductivity is being applied to many diverse areas, such as: medicine, theoretical and experimental science, the military, transportation, power production, electronics, as well as many other areas. With the discovery of high-temperature superconductors, which can operate at liquid nitrogen temperatures (77 K), superconductivity now provides unique and exciting opportunities to explore and experiment with this new and important technological field of physics.

This Special Issue aims at promoting original and high-quality papers on superconductivity and its applications. We cordially invite you to submit a high-quality original research paper or review to this Special Issue, “Theory and Applications of Superconductivity”.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. J is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
