Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to Professor Lennart Stenflo on the occasion of his 85th birthday. Professor Lennart Stenflo’s distinguished career has profoundly influenced plasma physics in several areas, including nonlinear wave interactions, turbulence, space plasma phenomena, and nonlinear physics. His pioneering research has laid the foundation for many theoretical and experimental advancements in the field.
Beyond his scientific contributions, Professor Lennart Stenflo has played a key role in mentoring young researchers, fostering collaborations across disciplines, and inspiring generations of physicists. His work has had a lasting impact, not only through his direct collaborations but also through the many scientists whose research has been influenced by his ideas and insights.
This Special Issue aims to bring together original contributions from Professor Lennart Stenflo’s collaborators, colleagues, and researchers working in areas connected to his work. The collection will showcase the breadth of his scientific legacy and highlight the ongoing developments that trace back to his pioneering efforts. We hope that this Special Issue will serve as both a tribute to his remarkable career and an inspiration for future research in plasma physics.

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. Physics 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 1400 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.
