Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce this Special Issue exploring topological materials. Over the past few decades, we have witnessed the rapid development of topological materials, both in theories and experiments. As a newly emerged quantum phase of matter, topological phases consist of a variety of states including topological insulators, topological superconductors and topological semimetals, topological magnets, etc. Due to their exotic non-trivial properties such as quantum anomalous Hall effect, Majorana zero mode, and Berry curvature, among others, they have been at the forefront of research in the fields of condensed matter physics, materials science, and chemistry in recent years. It is believed that such exotic properties have potential applications in dissipationless transport, topological quantum computation, and spintronics, among others. Therefore, comprehensive and in-depth research on topological materials is indispensable, as it not only helps to understand the intrinsic features of topological materials, but also contributes to their future applications. In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions from both theorists and experimentalists on all relevant aspects, including recent progresses, achievements and review articles on this novel field of topological materials.
Authors are invited to submit their research articles or reviews related to topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Crystal growth and characterization of topological quantum materials;
- Probe of the topological states or quantum phenomenon in various kinds of topological materials;
- Theoretical prediction or calculations on the electronic band structures and topological states;
- Device fabrication based on topological materials and their physical properties;
- Potential application based on topological materials.

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.
