Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic glasses are a novel class of metallic materials with long-range-disorder and short-range-order atomic arrangements and possess unique mechanical and functional properties, making them a popular topic in the field of materials research. However, thus far, there has been a lack of effective theoretical models and characterization methods for determining the microscopic atomic arrangements of metallic glasses, significantly hindering the research on these materials and their application. Therefore, exploring the atomic arrangement, developing effective structure models, and establishing the structure–property relationships of metallic glasses is of great significance.
This Special Issue will focus on original research articles and review papers on the theoretical modeling of the atomic arrangement of metallic glasses. We welcome papers that employ novel and advanced experimental techniques and computational simulations to explore the atomic arrangement of metallic glasses, and that utilize machine learning to explore the structural characteristics and establish the structure–property relationships of metallic glasses, as well as phase transitions in metallic liquids and alloys and the properties of metallic glasses; we are particularly interested in papers that establish the relationship between the atomic-level structure and properties of metallic glasses.
We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue in the form of a full paper, short communication, or topic review.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
