Rare Earths-Doped Materials (3rd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

The articles included in the first and second volume of the Special Issue, “Rare Earths-Doped Materials”, published in Crystals 2020, 10; Crystals 2021, 11; and Crystals 2022, 12, Crystals 2023, 13, as well as our personal experience, make it clear that the interest and research on the subject is continuing intensively. Therefore, with this letter, we announce the third volume of Rare Earths-Doped Materials and invite you to participate. The focus of the Issue is on the research and investigation of RE-doped materials: the methods for their synthesis and characterization, as well as the development of new properties (optical, magnetic, photocatalytic, biological, etc.). Topics of interest for the Special Issue include: (i) the development and application of different methods to obtain RE-doped materials; (ii) the application of different techniques for material characterization; (iii) RE-doped materials with specific structural and optical properties.

We encourage the submission of high-quality manuscripts in the form of research articles, short communications, and reviews for contribution to the third release of this Special Issue.
