Dear IWN 2024 presenters,
Continuing a quarter-century tradition of support for the nitride semiconductor community, physica status solidi and the conference organizers are once again committed to publish a twin special issue highlighting the most exciting new results that are scheduled for presentation at this year’s IWN 2024 in Hawaii on November 3–8. This will make your important work available to a large international audience quickly. The papers will be divided between pss (a) and pss (b). In collaboration with the Guest Editors and the Editorial Office we cordially invite you to contribute a Review (for invited speakers), Perspective, or Research Article manuscript based on, or related to your presentation for publication as regular articles (no conference proceedings).
The prestigious pss journals are designed to reach a broad audience. It is one of the largest and well-established publication platforms in solid state, applied and device physics as well as materials science with close to 1000 articles per year – now over 60 years in business – and is widely accessible with >1.4 million article downloads annually.
Submitted manuscripts undergo editorial evaluation and, if considered appropriate, subsequent peer review. According to the editorial policy, two positive recommendations by independent reviewers are a prerequisite of acceptance. Peer review and publication occur rapidly on individual manuscript basis. Published in Wiley Online Library Early View shortly after acceptance, your article is citable with DOI or article number immediately.
pss (a/b) are hybrid Open Access (OA)/subscription journals. The Open Access option is compliant with national or funder mandates, supported by an ever increasing number of countries and institutions. Wiley has OA agreements, e.g. with America, Europe and Asia, for more details see Wiley Author Services and contact pss with questions. If your institution or funder has no OA funds available, you may publish your article at no costs as subscription article with Copyright Transfer Agreement. The visibility of these articles has also been significantly improved due to many additional access licenses and publish-and-read agreements worldwide. You may also use green OA options, e.g. arXiv.
When all articles are complete, the topical section will be assembled in regular monthly issues of pss (a) and (b). The clustering of related articles raises the visibility of these articles significantly, and we are confident that this will become a quality publication reflected by high article access and citation numbers.
Please direct your submission to pss (a) or pss (b) based on the topics provided at the top of this page. If in doubt where to submit, please contact the Editorial Office with your program section, paper title and abstract.
We look forward to receiving your contributions!
Ronny Kirste, Biplab Sarkar, Gordon Callsen (Guest Editors)
Stefan Hildebrandt, Gaia Tomasello, Sabine Bahrs (pss Editors)

Submission Instructions
Please refer to the author instructions available on our homepage www.pss-journals.com ® Author Guidelines (including optional Word template and LaTeX style files and the link to online submission to pss (a) or pss (b) through Editorial Manager - please mention the submission to the IWN 2024 special issues in your cover letter and select the appropriate section/category IWN 2024 – Nitride Semiconductors to expedite handling).
Reviews should provide an overview of a current topic in the format of a topical review of about 10–12 (max. 15) journal pages. Due to this length restriction, a complete bibliographic overview on the existing literature cannot be expected, but referencing should be well-balanced. The manuscript should represent a snapshot of most recent progress, the state of research and particularly relevant aspects, with focus on the highlights and possibly open or controversially discussed questions. They are intended to inform an audience not immediately familiar with the specific topic. Original, previously unpublished results may also be included to a certain extent.
Perspectives provide a forum to present personal opinions and backgrounds on topics of interest to the research community. They may, for example, discuss the latest forefront developments to inform non-specialist readers, debate points of controversy, offer a historical viewpoint on notable past and present achievements, or even speculate on possible future academic, technological, or societal advancements.
Research Articles expose original and previously unpublished work of general interest to the community. Manuscripts do not have a strict length limit (typical lengths vary from 6 to 10 journal pages). Articles must fulfil the standards and requirements of the journal. Acceptance of a contribution for presentation at the workshop does not automatically include publication in the special issue. The main criteria for consideration by pss are:
• The importance, relevance, and novelty of the results match those expected for a regular journal paper.
• The general quality of the manuscript and the amount of information provided is appropriate for an international journal. Serial or incremental, pure self-referential and lab-report-style work is discouraged.
• Main results have not yet been published (also not in conference proceedings) and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Further benefits for pss authors include:
· No page charges or publication costs for authors of subscription articles, free online color
· Modern article formats (PDF, Enhanced PDF, HTML compatible also with mobile devices)
· Supporting information, e.g. additional data, figures, videos or animations can be published online
· Author suggestions for journal cover figures or frontispiece pages, especially for Reviews
· Journal print issues, color reprints with cover page, posters etc. are available for purchase
· pss is indexed in Web of Science and all other major abstracting databases
· Promotion of selected content via web portals, e.g. advancedsciencenews.com, newsletters, press releases
