Novel materials and devices for photon and ionizing radiation detection

Submissions now open

Deadline: 03 October 2025
Guest Editors: Andrea Ciavatti, University of Bologna
Francesca Cova , University of Milano-Bicocca
Michele Sessolo, University of Valencia

This themed collection will focus on novel materials and devices for the sensitive detection of photons and for the conversion of high energy ionizing radiation. The focus will be mainly on organic semiconductors and metal halide perovskites, although the themed collection is open to the submission of alternative materials. The topics will be focused on electromagnetic radiation detection beyond the visible range. Novel developments on active materials both for direct detection and for indirect detection (scintillators) will be covered by the themed collection.

Key Topics to be considered:

Growth/synthesis of new materials for radiation sensors:

  • Growth methods for perovskite and organic crystals and defect characterization
  • Nanoparticle and polycrystalline perovskite and organic films
  • Fabrication of hybrid and meta-materials

Materials and devices characterization:

  • UV and high energy photon detection
  • NIR photon detection
  • Noise and defects in advanced detectors
  • Materials for neutron and charge particles detection
  • Scintillators for fast timing detection and imaging
  • Interaction of nanomaterials and nanocomposites with ionizing radiation from fundamental to applied perspectives
  • Long-term stability, environmental effects and radiation hardness

About this call

Submissions to the collection should fit within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry C. Please see the journal website for more information on the journal鈥檚 scope, standards, article types and author guidelines.
