Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern trends in the development of optical materials science follow the path of expanding the technical possibilities for obtaining emitting and detecting materials in the form of single-crystal rods, planar films, and ceramics of disk geometry. This includes the development of such ceramic materials for medical purposes. Fast-acting and bright X-ray luminescent ceramics are necessary both to reduce the radiation dose of patients during examinations and to adjust the radiation equipment for X-ray oncology therapy. IR-emitting ceramics with a lasing spectrum in the range of tissue transparency are promising for therapeutic and surgical manipulations. However, despite the astounding advances in the development of optical ceramics over the past 25 years, sometimes, their production is still a technological art. One of the key success factors for making the said ceramics is related to preparing precursor powders by reactive sintering the individual starting materials or by sintering the preliminarily synthesized solid solutions.
We invite you to submit for publication in our journal your articles focused on the synthesis of the said powder precursors and optical ceramic materials as well as studying their spectral features, including luminescent properties.

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. Inorganics 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 2700 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.
