Materials | Highly Cited Papers from 2024 in the “Advanced Materials Characterization” Section
The Section “Advanced Materials Characterization” of Materials (ISSN: 1996-1944) focuses on contributions that have a significant component linked to the (advanced) structural characterization of solid materials. In many applications, the exact structure, crystal structure, position of functional groups, and other structural parameters have a significant effect on the characteristics and properties of the material. These factors are commonly known as "structure–property" or “structure–activity” relationships.
As all of the articles published in our journal are of an open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full texts. We welcome you to read our most highly cited papers published in 2024, as listed below:
