Molten Salts and Molten Metals

Dear Colleagues,

The liquid state of materials comprises, not only everyday substances, such as water, oil, gasoline, and acetone, but also materials that are solid at ambient conditions but melt at elevated temperatures, such as salts and metals. Such materials are important in several technical areas, including metallurgy, nuclear energy, and chemical technology. They are also of scientific interest, with regard to the interactions between their particles that govern the conditions under which they are solid or liquid. The thermophysical, transport, and chemical properties of molten salts and molten metals need, therefore, to be known and correlations among them and relationships of them to the inter-particle forces are of interest. Computer simulations supplement experimental determination of these properties and are increasingly being applied. Papers dealing with the properties, both experimentally determined and computed, and with uses of molten salts and molten metals are invited for this Special Issue of Metals.

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.
