Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Superconductivity is a macroscopic manifestation of the quantum mechanics. Since its discovery in 1911, the exploration of new superconductors has been a long-standing pursuit in the materials research community because it not only strengthens our understanding of the superconducting mechanism, but also leads to potential applications. In recent years, topological superconductors, non-cetrosymmtric superconductors, and high-entropy superconductors are several active subjects of investigation.

This Special Issue aims to collect the latest research results on these superconductors. The work published in the Special Issue is expected to comprise studies on the synthesis, crystal structure, and physical properties of solid-state materials, including (but not limited to) alloys and compounds, contributing to the development of areas of interest. The papers that report theoretical predictions and review latest research advances are welcome.

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.
