Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics

Dear Colleagues,

Condensed Matter Physics focusing on topics such as semiconductors, magnetism, superconductivity, complex fluids, and thin films is an essentially important research area solving a broad range of physical problems, both fundamental and applied. Theoretical physics, in particular, computational physics utilizes current development of massive computing power to solve problems across various fields, ranging from physics and chemistry to biology, material sciences and engineering. They are playing an essential role in modern scientific research and explorations.

The present special issue is devised as a collection of articles reporting both basic and applied research on theoretical condensed matter physics. The topics may include computational study of materials such as material structures, characterization, applications, and properties including electronic, magnetic, transport, mechanical, thermal, using numerical methods for instance first-principles calculations, density-functional theory, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, tight-binding etc.

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.
