EPJ AM Call for papers: Themed Issue on Global Advances in Electromagnetic Metasurfaces for Space

Details

Published on 29 July 2024

Submissions are invited for a Themed Issue of EPJ Applied Matamaterials on Global Advances in Electromagnetic Metasurfaces for Space.

Background
Metasurfaces are two- and three-dimensional periodic structures that can deliver unique features within all sorts of engineering domains. Within electromagnetics for space (be it radio frequency, microwave, millimeter-wave, terahertz, or optics), metasurfaces are popularly used to manipulate electromagnetic waves using passive or active artificially created sub-wavelength patterned structures. Such innovative surfaces are being adapted in the literature for a number of RF and optical applications in space such as remote sensing, satellite communications, highresolution imaging, beam-steering, and radar-cross section reduction.

Aim and Scope of the Themed Issue
This special issue aims to curate a collection highlighting the global advances in the development of electromagnetic metasurfaces for applications in space systems. It will focus on the exciting developments, ongoing trends and latest achievements in envisioning, simulating, fabricating, and measuring new metasurfaces for microwave, millimeter-wave, terahertz, and optical frequencies.
We invite submissions from all domains of applied and theoretical research on this subject which includes (but is not limited to):

• Fundamental theory and modeling of metasurfaces
• Active and tunable metasurfaces
• Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces
• Holographic metasurfaces
• Metasurface-based reflectors and lenses
• Metasurfaces for satellite communications networks
• Metasurfaces for remote sensing and imaging
• Metasurfaces for wavefront manipulation
• Metasurfaces for cloaking and invisibility
• Metasurfaces for optical and photonics applications
• Novel metasurface-based devices
• New emerging trends in metasurfaces

Submissions
All relevant papers will be carefully considered, vetted by a distinguished team of international experts, and published in accordance to the Journal’s standard policies.
Full research papers and comprehensive review articles can be submitted online via the journal’s submission and peer review site . Submissions should be clearly identified as intended for the Special Issue on ‘Global Advances in Electromagnetic Metasurfaces for Space’.
Instructions for Authors are available here.
