Aims & Scope

The review journal Uspehi Fiziki Metallov (abbreviated key-title: Usp. Fiz. Met.) was founded in 2000. In 2018, the journal officially obtained parallel title Progress in Physics of Metals (abbreviated title — Prog. Phys. Met.). The journal publishes articles (that has not been published nowhere earlier and are not being considered for publication elsewhere) comprising reviews of experimental and theoretical results in physics and technology of metals, alloys, compounds, and materials that possess metallic properties; reviews on monographs, information about conferences, seminars; data on the history of metal physics; advertising of new technologies, materials and devices. Scope of the Journal: Electronic Structure, Electrical, Magnetic and Optical Properties; Interactions of Radiation and Particles with Solids and Liquids; Structure and Properties of Amorphous Solids and Liquids; Defects and Dynamics of Crystal Structure; Mechanical, Thermal and Kinetic Properties; Phase Equilibria and Transformations; Interphase Boundaries, Metal Surfaces and Films; Structure and Properties of Nanoscale and Mesoscopic Materials; Treatment of Metallic Materials and Its Effects on Microstructure and Properties.
