Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the technical application of ferroelectrics, several directions have emerged, the most important of which should be considered:
1) manufacturing of small-sized low-frequency capacitors with a large specific capacity;
2) the use of materials with high polarization nonlinearity for dielectric amplifiers, modulators and other controlled devices;
3) the use of ferroelements in computing technology as memory cells;
4) the use of crystals of ferroelectric and antiferroelectrics for modulation and conversion of laser radiation;
5) manufacturing of piezoelectric and pyroelectric transducers.
The main environmental factors affecting the development and commercialization of new materials are the reduction in the use of toxic materials (mainly lead, lead oxide, but also bismuth, cadmium and nickel), conservation of natural resources, environmentally friendly sources and energy conservation. There is an increasing interest in the study of ceramic ferroelectrics at the micro- and submicroscopic level. This is due to the emergence of new technological problems, such as ferroelectric structures for optics, micro- and radio electronics. For this special issue, we sincerely invite you to contribute and share your research articles, reviews, and communications with our colleagues.

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. 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.
