Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Complex metallic materials (CMMs), such as multi-principal element alloys, metallic quasicrystals/modulated structures/composite structures, metallic glasses, host–guest structures, etc., have gained significant attention and are at the cutting edge of scientific research and industrial development activities. Diverse leading techniques like aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), synchrotron radiation diffraction and tomography, 2D and 3D electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, etc., as well as multiscale numerical simulation approaches including density-function theory, molecular dynamic simulation, and finite element analysis have been utilized to characterize the atomic-level crystal structure and microstructure peculiarities, with the purpose of understanding and tailoring the properties of the studied system.
Most scientific and industrial research work requires the coordination of multidisciplinary research fields. Therefore, the present topic offers a framework for integrating interdisciplinary branches in order to bring together experimental and theoretical contributions in a wide variety of fields, with topics of interest covering, but not limited to:
General topics:
- Multiscale calculations on CMM design and properties prediction;
- Phase transformation;
- Characterization of microstructure;
- Characterization of crystal structure;
- Plasticity, fatigue, fracture, and corrosion resistance physical properties;
- Vacancy, dislocation, and twin defects;
- Innovation hardware and software.

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. Metals 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.
