Submissions Wanted! - Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Sciences is currently accepting submissions of original review articles. Please click on the “Instructions for Authors” tab for details on manuscript preparations.

Covering topics in solid state materials properties, processing, and applications, Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Sciences brings you the latest and most important new developments and understandings. New and emerging theoretical and experimental topics are emphasized in the disciplines of condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, materials, and electrical, chemical and mechanical engineering. Cross-disciplinary engineering and science specialties are also included.

The reviews provide a critical assessment of the state-of-the-art for both experimental and theoretical studies.

Topics Include:

    Advanced processing techniques for new materials
    Analysis of solid composition, bonding, structure, and topography
    Deposition techniques to form the solid state and epitaxial layers
    Diffusion and defects in the solid state
    Electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of new organic and inorganic materials
    Experimental techniques for characterization of materials and materials properties
    Interfaces in the solid state
    Mechanical properties of low dimensional solids
    Nanoparticle processing and properties
    Nucleation and growth in formation of the solid state
    Optical spectroscopy of solids
    Physics, chemistry. and theory of the solid state
    Processing issues in thin film microelectronic and optoelectronic semiconductor devices
    Quantum effects
    Solid state band structure
    Solid state energy sources
    Theoretical modeling of solid state dynamics
