Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish the latest work of academics who work with II-VI materials. II-VI mixed compounds are known in a wide range of applications: x-ray and gamma-ray radiation sensors (CdZnTe), detector technologies operating in the infrared (HgCdTe), ultraviolet, solar cells (CdTe), broadband devices based on ZnO, spintronics (ZnMnSe, ZnMnTe), optoelecronics and many more, based on other II-VI semiconductors and alloys. Mixed compounds allow a smooth change of the band gap and lattice constants, allowing for tunable band gaps. These materials are finding applications in many fields, including both national and homeland security, industrial process monitoring, medicine, basic science, astronomy, energy production, and more.

The Issue aims for a better understanding of the basic physics and chemistry of these materials, as well as growth processes. The areas of interest include: materials growth and characterization, materials engineering, intrinsic and extrinsic defects and dopants, surface chemistry, fabrication processes, electrical properties and modeling, charge transport, optical properties, electro-optical and magneto-optical properties, as well as the interaction among all of these.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
