Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical and optoelectronic materials play a crucial role in current and future technologies. New developments and breakthroughs in the growth, fabrication, and synthesis of these materials coupled with the characterization of their optical and electronic properties are important for the advancement of a wide range of applications. This Special Issue aims to publish new experimental and theoretical results as well as concise reviews relating to the broad field of optical and optoelectronic materials. The topics are not limited strictly to fundamental research. We also strongly encourage the submission of manuscripts focusing on the practical applications of optical and optoelectronic materials, including but not limited to lasers, optical sensors, scintillators, photovoltaics, light emitting devices, and phosphors.
Dr. Marilou Cadatal Raduban

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
