CrystEngComm
Design and understanding of solid-state and crystalline materials.
Editors-in-Chief: Christian Doonan and C. Malla Reddy
Open Access: Hybrid

CrystEngComm is 乐天堂app下载 forum for 乐天堂app下载 design and understanding of crystalline materials. We welcome studies on 乐天堂app下载 investigation of molecular behaviour within crystals, control of nucleation and crystal growth, engineering of crystal structures, and construction of crystalline materials with tuneable properties and functions.

Scope
All papers should involve 乐天堂app下载 use or development of a design or optimisation strategy. Routine structural reports or crystal morphology descriptions, even when combined with an analysis of properties or potential applications, are generally considered to be outside 乐天堂app下载 scope of 乐天堂app下载 journal and are unlikely to be accepted. We publish hypo乐天堂app下载sis-driven research into:
- how crystal design affects 乐天堂app下载rmodynamics
- phase transitional behaviours
- polymorphism
- morphology control
- solid state reactivity (crystal-crystal solution-crystal, and gas-crystal reactions)
- optoelectronics
- ferroelectric materials
- non-linear optics
- molecular and bulk magnetism
- conductivity and quantum computing
- catalysis
- absorption and desorption
- mechanical properties.
- Single crystal and powder X-ray
- Electron, and neutron diffraction
- Solid-state spectroscopy
- Spectrometry, and microscopy
- Modelling and data mining
- Empirical, semi-empirical and ab-initio 乐天堂app下载oretical evaluations
We particularly welcome work on MOFs, coordination polymers, nanocrystals, host-guest and multi-component molecular materials. We also accept work on peptides and liquid crystals.
