Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between pressure and the physical properties of metals has received attention from various scientific fields. A change in the interatomic distance due to the pressure field causes electrical, magnetic, and crystal structural phase transitions. These findings advance the physical understanding of various phenomena. The high-pressure field is a useful tool for the development of new materials as it does not form ambient pressure processing. High pressure fields not only create high density phases but also enable the mixing of elements that cannot be mixed at ambient pressure. Low diffusion coefficients obtained by high-pressure fields are suitable for producing fine polycrystalline materials. The material properties obtained by high-pressure processing enable demonstrate the potential of the materials to advance materials design.
This Special Issue will cover a wide range of articles, describing materials research related to high-pressure fields, involving experimental, theoretical, and computational work. High-pressure refers not only to the static pressure level, but also to shock wave or high strain field conditions. Target materials are defined as all materials that include elemental metals and compounds or alloys. Articles and Reviews for experimental research should contain results based on one of the following methods: in-situ high-pressure experiments, high-pressure synthesis, high-pressure treatments, and shock wave. Investigations on all aspects of materials properties and structures are welcome.

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.
