Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-power microwaves emerged as a novel technology around five decades ago, owing to the convergence of several historical trends, including progress in developing intense electron beams, advancements in plasma physics, and the pursuit of controlling thermonuclear fusion. This research field has significant importance in the scientific community, enabling breakthroughs in various fields, such as scientific instruments, communications, radar, magnetic confinement fusion heating, microwave-assisted catalysis, extreme-depth drilling, virus decontamination, electromagnetic warfare, etc.
The current challenges confronting high-power microwaves encompass attaining higher levels in peak and average microwave power, high-frequency capability and waveform agility, improving power handling capacity, and enhancing overall efficiency. Therefore, advances in materials, mechanisms, and new simulation tools are now urgently required.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers and experts to share their insights, findings, and reviews on recent progress in high-power microwave generation techniques and their applications. We encourage contributions that cover a wide range of themes, including, but not limited to:
- High-power microwave generation technology
- High-power microwave transmission and radiation technology
- Solid-state high-power microwave technology
- Strong field physics and materials
- High-power microwave simulation and other related technologies
Original research articles and comprehensive reviews that highlight the latest trends, challenges, and future directions in high-power microwave generation for electronic devices are particularly welcome.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions, which will contribute to a deeper understanding and further advancements in this exciting research area.
