Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The open access journal Metals (ISSN 2075-4701) intends to establish a Special Issue on the following topic: “Radiation Damage of Metals and Alloys”. In addition to its interest in fundamental solid-state physics research, we believe this topic is currently of vital relevance for the development of sustainable nuclear energy sources, namely Gen IV reactors and the future thermonuclear fusion reactors.
As you can see from the suggested—but not exhaustive—keywords, this publication will focus on the main categories of nuclear materials and alloys, the different irradiation facilities, and the necessary postirradiation and microstructural characterization. Combined experimental and theoretical tools to predict long-term behavior and assess reliability will also be welcomed.
This Special Issue will include a restricted number of invited “key” contributions and a collection of papers that will be of interest to scientists and scholars in the field. We therefore look forward to receiving your proposals for this project.
With my best regards,
Dr. Roberto Coppola
Guest Editor
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.
