Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Different from the traditional semiconductor silicon integration devices, flexible electronic devices have unique advantages, such as flexibility and ductility. It is necessary to grasp the physical properties of flexible single-crystal functional films under different bending states before the design of flexible devices, and it has become one of the key scientific points to be solved. As we all know, functional single-crystal oxide materials have rich physical properties due to the strong interaction among charge, spin, orbit and lattice. By introducing the new physical parameter of mechanical bending deformation/strain, some unique physical phenomena and properties will be produced. Therefore, the effects of bending deformation/strain on the ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, domain switching and electrical transport properties of flexible materials should be studied, and the mechanism of mechanical bending induced the change of physical properties will be revealed. Therefore, a series of high-quality prototype flexible devices can further achieve multifunction, miniaturization and integration for future flexible electrics.

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.
