Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation sensors and detectors are widely used in fundamental physics, nuclear reactors, aerospace science, medicine, environmental monitoring, etc. One of the most important aspects of these application areas is the extremely harsh radiation environment, driven by the next-generation fusion energy reactors and future high-energy particle detectors. It is crucial to develop radiation-resistant, easy-to-operate, high-spatial/temporal-resolution devices that can survive in environments with high radiation fluences and high temperatures, as expected in plasma diagnostics and high-energy particle collisions. Solid-state sensors, especially wide-bandgap semiconductors, are good candidates for these applications.
This Special Issue is the second edition addressed to all types of solid-state sensors designed for extremely harsh environments. The first edition can be found here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/RSDMPA.

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.
