Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The search for superconducting metallic hydrogen at very high pressures has long been viewed as a key problem in physics. The prediction of high-temperature Tc superconductivity in hydrogen-rich materials has driven scientists to seek high critical temperatures at experimentally accessible pressures (i.e., below 300 GPa), where samples can be characterized with the currently available tools. This has opened a new search for high Tc in the hydride family, especially at lower pressures. Systematic theoretical structure searching in the La–H and Y–H systems has revealed numerous hydrogen-rich compounds with Tc in the neighborhood of room temperature (above 270 K), generating tremendous interest in the field, and a path for future progress.
We are delighted to welcome submissions to our Special Issue entitled “Electronic and Structural Properties of High Temperature Superconductors at High Pressure”. This Special Issue will address the rapid progress made in the synthesis and discovery of superconductivity at ultra-high pressure. Tremendous advances have been made in many cases by joint theoretical and experimental progresses. The overall aim of this Special Issue is to strengthen the links between state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical work, both on the front of materials discovery (ternary hydrides, doped systems, etc.) and at the level of fundamental understanding of the underlying physics, in particular on the level of the interplay between lattice dynamics and electronic correlations, such as magnetism.

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.
