Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Because of its unique set of intrinsic features, diamond is a semiconducting material that has been used and studied for detecting particles for several decades. However, compared to other semiconductors like silicon or germanium, diamond detectors have not yet reached the same volume of applications. This is largely due to the difficulties of growing large-size diamond crystals of homogeneous quality. Still advances are being made, in all technological aspects related to diamond detector fabrication.
This Special Issue on “Diamond detector technology” in the journal Applied Sciences is meant to summarize the recent advances in the development of diamond detector technology in all fields of applications. The scope includes contributions on crystal growth, new concepts and ideas for advanced applications. Articles describing the achieved performance of existing diamond-based instruments used in particle and nuclear physics experiments or for beam diagnosis will also be considered. This Special Issue calls for the submission of generic studies of charge migration and collection in all kinds of diamond crystals. Finally, all technological aspects linked to diamond detector manufacturing, be it electronic, mechanical or computational, will also be considered for publication.
Prof. Dr. Johann Collot

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
