Inorganic Crystalline Materials

A section of Crystals (ISSN 2073-4352).

Section Information

Aims

The section “Inorganic Crystalline Materials” provides a forum for advancements in our understanding of the nucleation, growth, processing, structure and property characterizations, and emerging applications of inorganic crystalline materials. Their mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, as well as their diverse applications, are all considered to be of importance. Additionally, we encourage contributors to send articles focused on crystals research on inorganic crystalline materials and their characterization using modern techniques for crystal growth and high-resolution characterization, such as synchrotron radiation and STEM.

Crystals serves as a reference and publication source for the crystal research community. Crystals publishes reviews, regular research articles, and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental, theoretical, and computational results in as much detail as possible so that results can be reproduced. Therefore, there are no restrictions on article length.
