Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-temperature superconductors and their applications have been a topic of high interest in the condensed matter community. Tremendous advances have been made in the pursuit of high-temperature superconductivity, not only in the search for new superconducting materials but also in the revelation of the underlying mechanisms and their intriguing applications. In the past few decades, much has been learned about superconducting materials and a qualitative understanding of the nature of the superconducting state has been achieved. The applications of superconductivity in the electric power sector have undergone both extensive evaluation and even prototype development: for example, fusion magnets, generators, superconducting magnetic energy storage, and AC transmission lines. However, there is still much that remains to be explored.
This Special Issue aims to cover the recent research developments in superconductor electronics and its applications; in this regard, we propose the following topics:
- Experimental effort to search for high Tc superconducting materials
- Theoretical prediction of new superconducting materials
- Understanding the mechanism for unconventional superconductivity
- Exotic phase diagram of high Tc superconductors
- Low-dimensional/interface superconductors
- Low-consumption electronics basing on superconductors

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. Electronics 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.
