Poly-Crystalline/Single-Crystalline Diamonds

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to stimulate the scientific exchange of knowledge between diamond scientists and engineers, both polycrystalline and single crystal.

Therefore, we cordially invite scientists and engineers to publish their latest scientific, theoretical and experimental results regarding the kinetics of diamond nucleation and growth, their physical and chemical properties, and their utility in various areas of science and technology (industry, medicine, archaeology, etc).

Recent research on the synthesis and utilization of monocrystalline and polycrystalline diamond materials has expanded their potential use in a wide range of existing and future applications, including optics and electronics, but also biomedicine, etc. We also believe that these are vital materials with great potential today and in the near future in the field of solid-state physics, chemistry and engineering.

We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Crystals, entitled "Poly-Crystalline/Single-Crystalline Diamonds", in order to present papers to a multidisciplinary forum addressing the science, technology and applications of diamond.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
