Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phosphors as spectral-converting luminescent materials were invented in the early 17th century. Spectral-converting materials were used due to their down-shift, down-conversion, and up-conversion processes when they were excited by ultraviolet (UV), near-UV, visible or infrared light. As you are already aware, phosphors were initially used in television tubes, fluorescent lamps, and X-ray screens. Currently, new inorganic and organic phosphors, quantum dots, and light-emitting diodes with enhanced optical properties are extensively developed to meet the various needs of upcoming applications. The search for new phosphors can be driven by the expedition for higher energy efficiency in many luminescent technologies. The field of luminescent materials is deeply studied in various areas of discovery. It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript on the “Deep Study of Luminescent Materials: From Fundament to Applications”. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Dr. Sangmoon Park

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
