Recent Advance in Ferroelectric Composites

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in the field of ferroelectric materials enable the introduction of new technological standards to address today’s societal needs for processing increasing amounts of energy and information. The latest research is dedicated to the materials themselves, thinking of environmentally friendly material compositions and new classes of ferroelectrics, e.g., wurtzite-type ferroelectrics such as AlScN. Their integration into composite structures offers advanced functionalities through the enhancement or coupling of properties, e.g., mechanoelectrical, for many kinds of applications.

This Special Issue aims to collect recent advances achieved in the field of ferroelectric composites and provide a comprehensive overview for all researchers, both new and well-established in the field.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: energy conversion and storage, MEMS, non-volatile memory, and the next generation of power electronic devices.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Solids 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 1200 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.
