Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation detectors are an essential component in modern technology and are widely utilized in security screening and industrial and medical imaging. Currently, innovative photoconductive materials and radiation detector technologies are required to achieve high performance in the sensitivity and spatial and temporal resolution of radiation detectors. As for medical imaging, there is a high demand for materials and technologies that hold a promise to improve diagnostic capabilities at reduced radiation exposures for different medical imaging applications.
This Special Issue of Sensors will be devoted to recent progress in materials and technologies for X-ray and gamma-ray sensing, materials characterization, and their application in radiation detectors and image readout electronics, as well as the development of novel advanced materials for radiation detection. In this Special Issue, we will focus on any relevant radiation sensing technology based on either scintillators or photoconductors, which could advance the field of radiation detection beyond current performance.
It is our pleasure to call for original and review papers within the scope of this Special Issue. Both theoretical and experimental studies are highly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- indirect conversion detectors
- direct conversion detectors
- novel materials for radiation imaging
- perovskite materials
- detector readout electronics

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. Sensors 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.
