Feature Papers on “Inorganic Crystalline Materials”

Dear Colleagues,

Not every inorganic substance can serve as a material, since it takes a particular function to do so. On the other hand, crystalline inorganics give you the opportunity to investigate their crystal structure in order to find possibilities for fruitful structure–property relationships. The section “Inorganic Crystalline Materials” provides a forum for advancements in our understanding of the nucleation, growth, processing, structural and property characterizations, alongside emerging applications of inorganic crystalline materials. Their chemical, mechanical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties, as well as their diverse applications, are all considered of importance. Especially the field of materials, which is useful for all kinds of energy-transfer processes, seems to be essential for current demands. Additionally, interested contributors are encouraged to send their articles focused on crystal research of potential inorganic crystalline materials and their identification using modern techniques for crystal growth and high-resolution structure characterization, such as X-ray, synchrotron, neutron and electron diffraction or scanning transmission electron microscopy.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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 2100 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.
