Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is in cooperation with the ICOSIMS-2023 conference (https://icosims.web.ua.pt/) and welcomes submissions from participants of the conference.
The Journal of Applied Sciences invites researchers and experts in the field of spectroscopy in materials science to contribute to a Special Issue entitled "Advances in Spectroscopy for Materials: Bridging Science and Engineering." This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research, novel techniques, and innovative applications that utilize spectroscopic analysis to deepen our understanding of materials across various scientific disciplines and facilitate their practical utilization.
Spectroscopy plays a vital role in elucidating the properties, interactions, and behavior of materials at the molecular and atomic levels. It offers valuable insights into the structure, composition, dynamics, and functionality of a wide range of materials, including those found in biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine, materials science, physics, and space science. This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers to share their recent advancements, discuss challenges, and explore opportunities in the rapidly evolving field of spectroscopic analysis.
Contributions to this Special Issue may encompass a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Development of new spectroscopic techniques and methodologies.
- Applications of spectroscopy in materials characterization, including surfaces, interfaces, thin films, nanomaterials, and biomaterials.
- Spectroscopic studies of energy materials, catalysts, polymers, semiconductors, and composite materials.
- Spectroscopy for the investigation of structural dynamics, molecular vibrations, electronic properties, and magnetic behavior.
- Spectroscopic analysis of biological systems, including proteins, DNA, cells, and tissues.
- Spectroscopy-based sensing and imaging techniques for material diagnostics and monitoring.
- Spectroscopic studies in environmental science, renewable energy, and sustainable materials.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to contribute their high-quality research to this Special Issue, with the aim of advancing the field of spectroscopic analysis and driving innovations in various applications. Join us in shaping the future of spectroscopy and its impact on materials science.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
