Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing efficient and environmentally friendly technologies for radiation detection is challenging. The recent progress in crystal growth, theoretical modelling, understanding of radiation-induced defects, and radiation hardness has offered new perspectives for radiation detection and crystalline materials, specifically wide-bandgap semiconductor crystals.
This Special Issue of Crystals is dedicated to all aspects related to the growth, characterization, and application of crystalline materials for radiation detection, to provide an overview of current issues of interest and future perspectives.
Researchers working in this field are invited to contribute papers on potential topics of interest, including but not limited to the following:
- Growth and characterization techniques of crystalline materials;
- Radiation detection;
- Wide-bandgap semiconductors;
- Radiation-induced defects;
- Modelling, first-principle calculations, etc.;
- Deep-level transient spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, 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 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. 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.
