It is with immense pleasure and deep anticipation that we launch the first edition of the Physics of Semiconductor Devices and Renewable Energies journal, with this inaugural issue by May 2023. On behalf of the PSDREJ Editorial broad team, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the readers of the journal. I take this opportunity to thank our authors, editors, and reviewers, who have all volunteered to contribute to the success of PSDRE. Our primary focus will continue to be the publication of highquality research. PSDRE Journal focuses on semiconductor devices and solar energy. It includes the physics of charge carrier transport in matter, solar cells, and photovoltaic systems. Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to:

Physics and properties of semiconductors, photonic materials, P-N junctions and Hetero-junctions, Metal-semiconductor contacts, Optoelectronic devices, Solar energy, wind energy, biomass, hydroenergy, Geothermal energy, hybrid systems.
We have invited distinguished scholars as members of the editorial board, who will serve for three years, and who will add international reach, strength and coherence to manuscript review and editing processes. We expect that Editors-in-Chiefs, Associate Editors, and Editorial Board members will form a growing community of practice with constructive peer-to-peer interaction that will underpin the journal in the years to come.
