Scintillator and Phosphor Materials—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Scintillator and phosphor materials are used as radiation-converting media in many fields of research and scientific applications, such as nuclear physics and high-energy physics, astrophysics, radiation dosimetry for medical and non-medical applications, imaging, spectroscopy, radiation monitoring in environmental studies, and industrial applications. A large number of research groups and groups of experts are currently working in the field together, combining their efforts in investigating the fundamental properties and mechanisms as well increasing the variety of applications of luminescence phenomena, e.g., lighting sources and leds, laser sources, radiation detection systems, plasma displays, various luminescent screens, displays and image intensifiers.

Nowadays, research activity is directed towards mixed and co-doped inorganic phosphor materials, single crystals and optical ceramic materials, organic crystals, nano-scintillators and quantum dots, luminescent biomarkers, luminescent dopants, optoelectronics and displays aiming to obtain higher performances, in accordance with the requirements of various applications.

The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase innovative research about scintillator and phosphor materials, exploring growth production and experimental evaluation, new crystalline hosts and co-doped scintillator materials, and the integration of scintillators and phosphors into various devices and applications, as well as theoretical calculations.

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.
