Electron Microscopy of Semiconductor and Magnetic Materials
This special issue belongs to the section “Inorganic Crystalline Materials“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electron microscopy is an indispensable tool for characterizing the microstructures of materials ranging from single crystals and polycrystals to amorphous systems. With recent advances in electron microscopy techniques, it is now possible to probe not only atomic and nanoscale structures but also functional properties such as magnetic configurations, internal electric fields, and local electrical resistivity. In addition, the development of in situ and operando methodologies enables direct observation of structural and property evolutions under external stimuli. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent progress in the application of electron microscopy to the study of semiconductor and magnetic materials, with a particular focus on structure–property relationships, emerging characterization techniques, and dynamic phenomena.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
