Investigation of Optoelectronic Functional Crystals: Crystal Growth, Properties and Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Electronic Materials“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optoelectronic functional crystals have played a key role in advancing electronics and photonics. Their unique properties have enabled wide-ranging breakthroughs in the fields of optical modulation and waveguide, holographic storage and display, infrared and X-ray imaging, wavelength conversion and coherent optical amplification, optofluidic manipulation and interfacial science, photocatalytic degradation and photothermal conversion, etc. The present Special Issue aims to address both scientific and engineering developments related to the preparation, physico-chemical properties, and current and prospective applications of optoelectronic functional crystals. We strongly encourage the submission of novel interdisciplinary research, in which various techniques of materials engineering or artificial intelligence (AI) are involved.

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. Materials 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 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.
