New Carbon Materials

Carbon is an element that shows rich allotropy due to its ability to adopt different types of orbital hybridization. Research in carbon materials continues to witness important discoveries each year, all of which have been highly relevant to both science and technology. The interest and widespread applications of carbon materials are mainly owed to their unique combination of electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. There have been a number of important breakthroughs in the discovery of new forms of carbon, including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphdiyne, superhard amorphous carbon, and etc.. Progress in this field is expected to significantly impact current challenges such as achieving carbon neutrality, renewable energy, opto/electronic devices, and electromagnetic shielding.

About the Journal

Applied Physics Reviews (APR) features articles on important and current topics in experimental or theoretical research in applied physics or applications of physics to other branches of science and engineering. APR publishes the following types of articles:

• Original Research: An article reporting on an important and novel research study of high quality and general interest to the applied physics community.
• Reviews: This type of article can either be an authoritative, comprehensive review of established areas of applied physics, or a short timely review of recent advances in established fields or new and emerging areas of applied physics.

Applied Physics Reviews is accepting proposals!
