Covering major developments in the field of solid state chemistry and related areas such as ceramics and amorphous materials, the Journal of Solid State Chemistry features studies of chemical, structural, thermodynamic, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties and processes in solids.

Research Areas include:


• Bonding in solids
• Crystal chemistry
• Crystal growth mechanisms
• Synthesis of new compounds
• Materials Chemistry
• High-pressure processes
• Magnetic properties of materials
• Optical characterization of materials
• Order-disorder
• Phase equilibria and transformation mechanisms
• Reactions at surfaces
• Statistical mechanics of defect interactions
• Structural studies
• Transport phenomena

Features:
• Rapid Communications: Brief articles that contain unique, exciting, and novel results with a clear requirement for rapid publication.
