Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on Terahertz Technology for 6G Communication: Devices and Applications. The terahertz band (0.1–10THz) is the key window connecting light waves and microwaves. It has become more appealing in six-generation networks due to its large communication and favorable propagation. As a promising solution for 6G wireless networks, terahertz communication plays an essential role in meeting the increasing demands of data traffic. From the various THz technologies continuously developed, system-level efforts have led to the use of both photonics and/or electronics-based technologies. The objective of this Special Issue is to cover all aspects of photonics/electronics-based terahertz technologies.
Some of the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Terahertz solid electron devices;
- THz integrated circuits;
- Terahertz vacuum electron devices;
- Terahertz modulation technology;
- Metamaterials, RIS, and metasurfaces;
- Semiconductors, 2D materials, and topological photonics;
- Photonic emitter;
- Integrated photodetectors;
- THz antenna design and optimization;
- THz communication technology and systems.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
