Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials have attracted increased interest due to their potential application in the electronic industry. In particular, solid-state devices utilizing piezoelectric effects have garnered significant attention both scientifically and technologically; this is because piezoelectric devices such as actuators, sensors and transducers have been extensively employed in electromechanical applications such as oscillators, vibration damping, ultrasonic motors, ultrasonic biomedical imaging, MEMS loud speakers, accelerometers, resonators and micro/nano positioning. In addition, many new devices and applications have been explored intensively, and many novel technological developments, such as material fabrication, device design, and the performance evaluation of devices, are emerging. These technologies offer outstanding ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties, which makes them particularly useful in the field of electronic devices. This Special Issue aims to gather recent research on ferroelectric/piezoelectric materials and devices in the aforementioned areas.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced ferroelectric/piezoelectric materials, including crystals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, etc.
- Ferroelectric/piezoelectric devices and their applications.
- Ferro/piezoelectric characterization methods.
- Characterization and modeling of ferro/piezoelectric materials and devices.

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.
