Superconductor Technologies and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The interest in superconductor technologies and their applications is continuously increasing in the world. The superconducting electrical machine has high power density and demonstrates high efficiency. There has been increased interest in such machines due to their potential for widespread applications, such as industrial applications and applications in electric aircrafts and ships, renewable power generation, Maglev systems, etc.

This Special Issue will focus on superconducting electrical machines. Papers are invited in all different areas of superconductor technologies and their applications, as they are a multidisciplinary topic involving research areas such as electromagnetism, mechanical design, cryogenics, and material issues, as well as economic and environmental aspects. Both theoretical and experimental work, and, especially, the combination of the two, are welcomed.

Papers covering new topologies, structures, analysis methods, control strategies, and new emerging applications of superconductors are strongly welcome. Contributions dealing with advancements made in superconductor materials for electrical machines are also of interest.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
