Achievements and prospects: 25 years of SPQEO journal

Abstract

The Ukrainian journal Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics and Optoelectronics (SPQEO) was launched in 1998 artificially combining three main areas of scientific activity inherent to the V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, namely semiconductor physics, quantum electronics and optoelectronics. After a decade this artificial base turned into some kind of organic symbiosis, namely: (i) the main optoelectronic systems are based on semiconductor devices, for example, fiber-optic networks; (ii) semiconductor lasers dominate in a huge number of applications in quantum electronics; (iii) semiconductor physics proposes new types of LEDs with extremely high efficiency, and so on. This article is dedicated to the 25 th anniversary of SPQEO. According to the Google Scholar Citation statistics, above 1680 articles cited more than 7350 times in total were published in the journal from 1998 to 2023. The statistics of references of journal articles and the scientific areas of the most cited articles are presented.
