Young Talents in Solid-State Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Solids titled “Young Talents in Solid-State Sciences”, which aims to give you the opportunity to highlight your innovative contributions to the field and to provide a platform for cutting-edge research.

We invite you to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives covering all aspects of solid-state sciences, including, but not limited to:

• Synthesis and characterization of novel solid-state materials;
• Advanced characterization techniques applied to solid-state materials;
• Theoretical and computational studies on solid-state materials;
• Properties of solid-state materials;
• Applications of such materials, e.g., in electronics, photonics, energy storage, and conversion.

This Special Issue offers you, as a young scientist, a unique opportunity to present your work to a wide audience, to become known in the scientific community, and to contribute to the progress of solid-state science.

With this Special Issue, we would like to address young talents who completed their PhD no more than 8 years ago and are under 40 years old. Of course, we will take into account career breaks due to family circumstances, for example.

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. Solids is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
