Solid State Physics, Magnetic and Transport Properties of Intermetallic Compounds

Dear Colleagues,

Intermetallics have a wealth of interesting fundamental and novel functional properties. They often have desirable phase transition, magnetic, and superconducting behaviors, and their physical properties can be tailored by controlling either or both chemistry and structure. Therefore, intermetallics remain an intriguing subject for materials science and condensed matter physics communities. Some example includes shape memory alloys, permanent magnets, as well as caloric and hydrogen storage materials. This Special Issue aims to cover the latest research and development related to the magnetism, transport, and thermodynamic properties of intermetallic compounds. This includes theory and modeling, synthesis and characterization, microstructure and structure–property relationships, phase transitions, and their related physical properties and crystal structures of intermetallic compounds.

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-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.
