Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The unique combination of extreme values of physical and chemical properties possessed by the III-nitrides has led to a range of potential applications spanning from optoelectronics to high-power and high-frequency electronic devices capable of operating under extreme conditions. In the last decade, improved control of the intrinsic and extrinsic material properties and the viability of high-quality native substrates have allowed the realization of high-performance devices.
This Special Issue will focus on true GaN-based materials and devices utilizing bulk GaN substrates. This includes advances in bulk material technology and substrate development, fundamental materials understanding, epitaxial growth, “GaN-on-GaN” devices, and finally practical applications. We will present papers that address the current “state of the art”, presenting an overview of current technical progress, challenges, and predictions of future advances to occur in the GaN-based devices.

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 2600 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.
