Published on behalf of Acta Materialia, Inc.Acta Materialia provides a forum for publishing full-length, original papers and commissioned overviews, and feature articles that advance the understanding of the relationship between the processing, the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. Acta Materialia prioritizes papers that significantly move the field forward, advancing the thinking in the field and providing mechanistic processing-structure... connections. Explorations of such connections by experiment, computation, theory, data science, and machine learning are all welcome; studies that connect across theory, computation, and experiment through mechanistic means are especially relevant.Materials structure at all scales is of interest, from electronic, atomic, and molecular arrangements to microstructural elements, including crystal defects, polycrystalline and polyphase structures, and spanning to macrostructures formed by processing that impact properties and performance. The connection of these structural features to all kinds of properties is of interest, including mechanical and functional properties, thermodynamics and kinetics, phase transformations, etc.Short communications and comments to papers published in Acta Materialia may be submitted to Scripta Materialia.Manuscrip... about materials that fall outside the scope of Acta Materialia or Scripta Materialia may be submitted to Materialia, which is part of the Acta Materialia family of journals.

The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators. Both original research and critical review papers covering experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either fundamental or applied nature are welcome.Papers submitted to JNM should exhibit a high degree of novelty and contain a significant discussion section that analyzes and interprets the results with outcomes that advance our understanding and push the field forward. Incremental research papers are not acceptable.The breadth of the field is such that a wide range of processes and properties in the field of materials science and engineering is of interest to the readership, spanning atom-scale processes, microstructures, thermodynamics, mechanical properties, physical properties, and corrosion, for example.Topics covered by JNM Fission reactor materials, including fuels, cladding, core structures, pressure vessels, coolant interactions with materials, moderator and control components, fission product behavior.Materials aspects of the entire fuel cycle.Materials aspects of the actinides and their compounds.Performanc... of nuclear waste materials; materials aspects of the immobilization of wastes.Fusion reactor materials, including first walls, blankets, insulators and magnets.Neutron and charged particle radiation effects in materials, including defects, transmutations, microstructures, phase changes and macroscopic properties.Interacti... of plasmas, ion beams, electron beams and electromagnetic radiation with materials relevant to nuclear systems.Topics NOT covered by JNMTopics in nuclear engineering and other areas not addressing materials, such as:Particle transport, cross-sections, shielding or isotope ratios (Radiation Physics and Chemistry; Annals of Nuclear Energy, Applied Radiation and Isotopes)Process engineering (Materials Science and Engineering A; Materials and Design)Leaching or chemical kinetics studies in aqueous, salt or other media (Hydrometallurgy; Chemical Engineering Science)Thermal hydraulics or properties of fluids (Nuclear Engineering and Design)Uranium extraction, uranium ore processing, and isotope separation processes (Nuclear Engineering and Design; Progress in Nuclear Energy)Fission or fusion reactor design and technology (Nuclear Engineering and Design; Fusion Engineering & Design)Plasma physics (Physics Letters A)Materials topics not addressing nuclear applications, such as general studies in:Physical and chemical properties including modeling and simulation (Materials Science and Engineering A; Materials Letters)Metallurgy (Journal of Alloys and Compounds; Materials Science and Engineering A)Corrosion (Corrosion Science)Welding and joining (Journal of Alloys and Compounds; Materials and Design)Ceramics (Journal of the European Ceramics Society; Ceramics international)

Progress in Materials Science

ISSN: 0079-6425
5 Year impact factor: 41.2
Impact factor: 33.6

Progress in Materials Science publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials and their exploitation in engineering and other applications. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental aspects of the subject, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical or biomedical). Authors of reviews in Progress in Materials Science are active leaders in materials science and have a strong scientific track record in the field of the review. Regular manuscripts are generally of greater length than those found in journals specialising in research papers. Snapshot reviews focus on a timely topic and are shorter (less than 8,000 words). The Editors kindly request that non-invited manuscripts are preceded by the submission of a proposal through the website.Particular areas of interest for review papers are, but are not limited to:Energy Materials: Materials for energy harvesting, storage, and conversion (solar cells, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, etc,.), electrode materials, mechanism in electrochemical devices, battery design and optimizationQuantum and electronic materials: thin Film technology, materials for electronic devices, quantum dimensional materials (0D,1D and 2D), materials for sensors and detectors (optical, piezoelectric, biosensors)organic light emitting diodesSoft Matter and Biomaterials: polymers, materials for the human body, biomaterials for tissue models, materials for personalized medicine and healthcare, materials for drug delivery, bioinspired materials and synthesis conceptsAdvanced materials manufacturing: innovative fabrication techniques, process design and optimization, scalable production methods, wearable and flexible printed electronic devices, materials and techniques for additive manufacturingHigh-pe... materials: alloys and composites with optimized strength and toughness, advanced materials for extreme environments (e.g. space, arctic), emerging hybrid and composite Materials, high-entropy materialsAdvanced Characterization Techniques: novel techniques such as in-situ electron microscopy, operando spectroscopy, or advanced neutron scattering that reveal material behaviors under real-world conditionsSustainabl... materials science: materials for a circular economy, substitution of critical elements, engineered materials for environmental remediation, sustainable materials and synthesis conceptsComputationa... Materials Science and AI/ML: computational techniques for materials on all size and time scales, computation of phase diagrams, property and lifetime prediction, AI and ML techniques for high-throughput materials design and for advanced processing
