Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the use of high-power radiation has gained attention rapidly due to its essential interaction with different types of materials. Recent progress regarding the generation of high-power radiation is now creating new prospects in various fields, including material science, biophysics, medical sciences, and industrial applications.
High-peak power radiation plays an important role in various applications, especially in ultra-fast beam technology, which can be used in studies of basic science as well as the ultra-fast dynamics of atoms and molecules. Radiation sources that are capable of producing stable pulses with sufficiently high-peak power are essential in ultra-fast spectroscopy or material processing. Accelerator-based radiation sources in forms of free-electron lasers (FELs) and coherent synchrotron/transition radiations from ultra-short electron beams are promising sources for the generation of high-peak power radiation with the possibility of tuning frequencies. FELs can produce high-peak power radiation in a region of X-ray/UV/MIR/THz depending on electron beam energy and the magnetic structure of the undulator. Coherent synchrotron and transition radiations are typically used to produce radiation in a THz regime. Tabletop intense THz sources based on the femtosecond laser and photoconductive antennas, non-linear crystals, optical rectification sources, plasma-based THz sources, topological insulators, spintronic materials, and metasurfaces are also interesting sources for compact setup.
Among the high-power radiation applications, some do not require high-peak power radiation. Instead, they need high average-power radiation. An important example of such a radiation source is the synchrotron light source, in which the radiation is produced from high-energy and high-current electron beams. Synchrotron radiation has high intensity, high photon flux, and a wide range in wavelengths (from infrared to hard X-ray) with well-understood spectrum intensity. Another advantage is the possibility of having several beamlines with different radiation wavelengths for different applications.
The research and development of high-power radiation sources with various types of techniques have been carried out worldwide. High-power radiation is widely utilized, with a great number of applications. This Special Issue is a collaboration between Particles and the "15th Eco-Energy and Materials Science and Engineering Symposium: Special session on "Generation and Application of High-power Radiation Sources”. It is an attempt to summarize the research in the relevant areas for both symposium attendees and other interested researchers. Original contributions of experimental work, computational work, combinations of the two, review papers are very welcome.

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. Particles is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
