Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductor materials exhibit significant transformations in their structural and functional properties when subjected to extreme conditions, such as high pressure, extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or intense radiation. These environmental factors can induce profound alterations in the crystal lattice, including phase transitions, dislocations, and distortions. Such structural changes directly impact the electronic characteristics of the material, leading to modifications in bandgap size, electron redistribution, and charge carrier mobility.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Evolution of Electronic Properties: The analysis of how structural changes modify electronic characteristics, including bandgap engineering, electron redistribution, and charge carrier mobility;
- Interdependent Property Modifications: The examination of the consequent alterations in optical (e.g., absorption/ spectra), mechanical (e.g., hardness, elasticity), and thermodynamic properties (e.g., thermal conductivity, heat capacity);
- Novel Applications and Device Engineering: The exploration of new applications stemming from tunable material properties, such as advanced sensors, and energy conversion systems for extreme environments;
- Advanced Experimental and Computational Methods: Computational modeling to probe and predict material behavior under extreme conditions.

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. 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.
