Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Researchers and engineers in the materials science community have been devoted to enhancing material properties governed by material structures. This Special Issue invites research focusing on the review, investigation, and innovations of the microscopic structure and properties of ferrous and non-ferrous metals/alloys. Structures widely cover the phase constituent, grain morphology, crystallographic orientation, grain boundary, crystal lattice, etc., and properties include, but are not limited to, mechanical, magnetic, electrical, and anti-corrosive performances. Topics regarding advanced preparation and characterization techniques, tailored structure or design, numerical simulation, thermodynamics, kinetics, and the relationship between processing, microstructures, and properties are also highly desirable.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
