Aims & Scope

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
