initiated by professor dang zhimin, department of electrical engineering, tsinghua university, and published by the british institute of engineering and technology (iet), the new journal iet nanodielectrics was published online recently.
considering the main ideals of the "deep understanding of nanostructure and interface properties of advanced dielectric materials and the relationship between their electrodes and macroscopic properties", iet nanodielectrics focused on the maulti-domain multidisciplinary research results, such as new energy sources, bio-media physics and chemistry, biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, flexible dielectric devices, electronic skin, wearable electronic clothing, the internet of things and electrical insulation, etc. in addition, it pays special attention to advanced nano-dielectrics, advanced nano-dielectrics science and the application of advanced nano-dielectrics.
there are two editors-in-chief of iet nanodielectrics, namely, professor dang zhimin, department of electrical engineering, tsinghua university, and professor george chen, department of electronic and computer science, university of southampton, uk. there are 12 subject editors in six key areas of journal keynote reporting, and nearly 50 members of the editorial board composed of experts at home and abroad. at present, the journal is planned to publish four issues a year. with the increase of contributions in the future, it will gradually increase the annual publication volume.
professor dang zhimin and professor george chen, editors-in-chief of iet nanodielectrics, issued a joint statement: "in the past two decades, great progress of nanotechnology has been made in the application of dielectric materials”. however, because the research of nano-dielectrics spans many disciplines and the related research papers are distributed in many journals, it is necessary to provide an independent platform for the research in this field. this will not only contribute to the interaction of interdisciplinary research, but also promote more cooperation and improvement among disciplines, so as to drive the rapid development of nano-dielectric science and technology.
the editorial team of iet nanodielectrics includes many young and middle-aged professors in related fields of tsinghua university. the establishment of the journal will help to enhance the international influence of nano-dielectrics research in our university and enhance the communication and cooperation between the relevant research teams and international research teams.
