Progress in Solid State Chemistry

ISSN: 0079-6786
5 Year impact factor: 7.8
Impact factor: 9.1

Progress in Solid State Chemistry presents a chemical view of the solid state by providing up-to-date critical reviews written by acknowledged authorities in the field. It also publishes surveys of research progress and specialized articles devoted to summarizing particular recent developments. The aim is to address the need brought about by the literature on the chemistry of the solid state being widely dispersed, making it difficult to obtain a broad and unified assessment of the present state of knowledge. Special emphasis is given to relating physical properties and structural chemistry. Whereas structural chemistry at one time was concerned mostly with perfect solids, most activity focused upon understanding of solid properties focuses on imperfections. Entities such as vacancies, dislocations, and positive holes, which have no independent existence outside the solid itself, are of prime importance in modern solid state chemistry.The reviews published in Progress in Solid State Chemistry emphasize critical evaluation of the field, along with indications of current problems and future directions. Papers are not intended to be bibliographic in nature but rather to inform a broad range of readers in an inherently multidisciplinary field by providing expert treatises oriented both towards specialists in different areas of the solid state and towards nonspecialists. The authorship is international, and the subject matter will be of interest to chemists, materials scientists, physicists, metallurgists, crystallographers, ceramists, and engineers interested in the solid state.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Radiation Physics and Chemistry

ISSN: 0969-806X
5 Year impact factor: 2.6
Impact factor: 2.8

The Journal for Radiation Physics, Radiation Chemistry and Radiation Processing A multidisciplinary journal linking science and industryRadiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.Radiation Physics and Chemistry aims to publish articles with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and contributions to science. We expect that articles present new insight or hypothesis testing, that they focus on radiation effects or applications of ionizing radiation, provide uncertainties and statistical analysis where relevant, and present their findings in context with discussion of past and recent literature. The editors reserve the right to reject, with or without external review, articles which do not meet these criteria. This could include articles which are very similar to previous publications, except that target substrates, materials, analyzed sites or experimental methods have been changed.A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics that are considered for publication include:Radiation PhysicsFundamental processes in radiation physics • Interaction mechanisms for example scattering and absorption of photon and particle radiations • Attenuation coefficients • X-ray fluorescence • Cherenkov effect • Polarization • Effects of periodic structures (Bragg diffraction, channelling, parametric x-radiation, etc) • Mathematical methods in radiation physics, reference dataRadiation sources and detectors • Accelerator and radionuclide spectra and other properties • Radiation fields from point and extended sources • Detector response functions • Basic physics of Dosimetry • Radiation transport • Buildup factorsRadiation Chemistry• Ionizing radiation induced ionic and radical reactions • Kinetics and mechanism of radiolysis reactions • Pulse radiolysis technique and measurements • Nanoparticle production by ionizing radiation • Radiation induced chain reactions, polymerization • Irradiation effects on polymers • Dose and dose rate effects • LET effects on chemical reactions • Pollutant removal by ionizing radiation • Computational models on radiation chemical reactionsPapers on photochemistry, microwave chemistry and thermochemistry are believed to belong to the scope of RPC only if they have strong relevance to radiation chemistry. EPR papers will only be considered for publication when the method is used for clarifying radiation chemical processes, e.g. by determining the nature of the transient intermediates. Radiochemistry papers such as tracer technique, radon or other radionuclide measurements, isotopic constitutions fall outside the scope of the journal.Radiation ProcessingRadiation Sterilization • Microbiology • Toxicology • Biocompatibility • ValidationFood irradiation • Microbiological quality • Chemical effects • Nutrition • Detection induced radioactivityPolymers • Synthesis • Polymerization • Curing • Grafting • Crosslinking • Degradation • CompositesEnvironmental • Effluent gas • Waste water • Water purification • Toxin reduction • Sludge • Recycling of wastesRadiation effects • Semiconductors • Gemstones • Crystals • CeramicsDosimetry and process control • Dosimeter systems • Analytical instrumentation • Environmental influence • Measurement uncertaintyRadiation sources and facilities for radiation processing • Electron Accelerators • Gamma and x-ray facilities • Safety issues • Transport of radioisotopes
