Novel Surface and Bulk Acoustic Wave Devices, Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Surface acoustic wave and bulk acoustic wave devices have always been a hotspot in the field of piezoelectric devices. Commercially, the demand for high-frequency, large-bandwidth, and low-loss filters in the RF front-end of mobile phones continues to drive the development of surface acoustic wave devices and bulk acoustic wave devices. Various high-sensitivity acoustic wave sensors are also attracting the attention of researchers and investors, especially the wireless and passive features make acoustic wave sensors are applied in many fields. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of the basic research, some new devices are also emerging, such as the surface acoustic wave amplifier based on the acousto-electric amplification effect, and the XSAW/XBAW devices based on the single crystal piezoelectric substrate. It is worth noting that sensors based on single-crystal piezoelectric thin-film substrates have not been studied much, which is undoubtedly an important topic in this field. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on novel methodology, design and fabrication developments in surface and bulk acoustic wave devices, including, but not limited to, the topics mentioned above.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
