Summary
Chalcogenide materials have attracted significant attention due to their rich physical phenomena, including superconductivity, topological states, charge-density waves, and strong structure–property correlations. Recent advances in synthesis and characterization have revealed tunable electronic and magnetic behaviors, making chalcogenides promising platforms for both fundamental studies and technological applications.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent experimental and theoretical progress in the study of chalcogenide materials with a focus on superconductivity and related emergent physical properties. It seeks to provide a comprehensive forum for research on synthesis, crystal and electronic structures, transport and magnetic properties, and structure–property relationships. Contributions addressing novel superconducting mechanisms, phase transitions, doping or pressure effects, and multifunctional chalcogenides are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue will bring together interdisciplinary studies to advance understanding and stimulate further research in chalcogenide science.
This Special Issue focuses on the following topics, among others:
· Superconductivity in chalcogenide compounds
· Structure–property relationships in chalcogenide materials
· Doping, pressure, and chemical substitution effects
· Electronic, magnetic, and transport properties
· Topological and correlated electronic states in chalcogenides
· Thin films, heterostructures, and low-dimensional chalcogenides
· Advanced characterization and theoretical modeling of chalcogenides
