Advanced Electronic Ceramics

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on advances in the field of electronic ceramics. Electronic ceramic materials exhibit a variety of physical properties, namely, dielectric, piezoelectric, ferroelectric, mutliferroic, magnetoelectric, caloric, electrooptic, photovoltaic, magnetic, superconducting, semiconducting, and others. Electronic ceramics can be used in sensors, transducers, actuators, micropumps, energy harvesting devices, energy storage devices, refrigeration devices, and others. In this Special Issue, original and review papers on electronic ceramic materials are very welcome. Some topics are suggested below, although others will be considered:

• Ceramic processing and sintering technologies;
• Ceramic thick and thin films, nano-objects;
• Multilayers and composites;
• Structural, microstructural, electrical and magnetic properties of ceramics;
• Properties of ceramic materials at the nano- and atomic level;
• Functional properties of electronic ceramics; theory, modelling and advanced functional characterization;
• Mechanical and thermal properties of electronic ceramics;
• Active and passive electronic ceramic elements;
• Applications of electronic ceramic materials.

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.
