Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crystals is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes research spanning various aspects of the physicochemical and optical properties of crystals. It actively supports innovative investigations in the areas of optics and luminescence of ceramics materials. This Special Issue focuses on the magneto-optical properties, luminescence, and energy conversion of novel ceramics materials. The emphasis is on pioneering scientific studies that explore the relationships between processing techniques, microstructure, chemical composition, and the properties of crystals grown through different melting and growth methods.
Manuscripts submitted to this issue must provide a comprehensive description of the microstructure, along with a description of structural and spectroscopic results and the influence of synthesis and sintering or the melting procedure. The issue includes standard sections such as research papers, review articles, and perspectives, welcoming both experimental and theoretical contributions. Additionally, it features news, viewpoints, and research highlights that showcase the latest scientific advancements in ceramic materials research. With a commitment to quality, the Special Issue aims to offer strong support for authors, readers, and reviewers.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
