Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Superconducting wires, tapes, cables and bulks have a large number of applications, e.g. in metallurgy, medicine, energy, mining, military, wind turbines, laboratory research. The application of wires, tapes, cables and bulks depends on their critical parameters (e.g. critical current density, irreversibility magnetic field and critical temperature). The critical parameters depend on e.g. doping, heat treatment, structure of the superconducting material, structural defects and the technology used for the production of e.g. superconducting wire. Currently, MgB2 material, iron-based superconductors and high-temperature superconductors have received the considerable attention owing to their high critical current density and high critical magnetic fields.
We invite researchers to contribute to the Special Issue on Superconductors: Materials and Technology, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum covering broad aspects of the science, technology and application of superconducting materials.
The potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- MgB2 wires and tape - powder in a tube (PIT)
- MgB2 wires – internal Mg infiltration (IMD)
- iron-based superconductors wires
- high-temperature superconductors tape
- critical current density
- pinning centers
- synthesis of superconducting 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.
