Focus and Scope

The journal Physics and Chemistry of Solid State is a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to fundamental and applied research in condensed matter physics, solid-state chemistry, and materials science with emphasis on condensed matter physics and functional materials.

The journal publishes original research articles and review papers covering theoretical, experimental, and computational studies of solid materials.

The scope includes, but is not limited to:

• Condensed matter physics
• Crystallochemistry and thermodynamics of solids
• Physics, chemistry, and technology of crystals and thin films
• Surface physics and surface chemistry
• Nanostructures and nanotechnologies
• Semiconductor and functional materials
• Measurement and characterization of material properties
• Phase equilibria and phase diagrams
• Heterogeneous systems and interfacial phenomena
• Composite and structural materials
• Electronic, optoelectronic, and information-related materials

The journal welcomes contributions in physical and mathematical sciences, chemical sciences, materials science, and engineering.

The journal is intended for researchers, early-career scientists (including PhD candidates), and professionals working in academia and technology-oriented industries.
