Journal of Crystal Growth
The Journal of Crystal Growth offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.Note Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.

Diamond and Related Materials
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.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.

Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an International Journal focused molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces encountered in materials science, biologically-relevan... systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications. COCIS is not a primary journal; rather, it seeks to guide the researcher through the maze of recently published literature, critically analyses the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks, unsolved issues and proposes future developments. The Journal highlights areas and papers which, in the opinion of the Editors and the Section Editors, are of special interest and significance.The scope of COCIS is divided in five Sections that include subtopics as listed below:Colloid components and colloidal materials (surfactants, polymers and polyelectrolytes, emulsions and microemulsions, self-assembly)Biolog... systems, medicine and health (biological colloids and interfaces, drug delivery, food colloids, cosmetics)Films and charged systems (electrokinetics, thin liquid films and foams, wetting and spreading)Colloidal systems for energy and environmental technologies (energy and energy storage, environmental technologies)Advance... methodologies (microscopy methods, NMR, rheology, surface analysis techniques, surface forces, x-ray, light and neutron scattering, theory and simulation)In addition, COCIS publishes "hot topic" special issues focused on emerging or timely topics. For each of the above areas, Section Editors are appointed, who commission expert scientists to write informed and critical articles on a selected topic. COCIS articles are not intended to be comprehensive compilations of the relevant literature, but are rather personal articles by the invited contributor(s), which aim to inform the reader of the major developments in the area, and to identify those papers which have made the greatest impact on the field, and open new perspectives. Normally, the period covered by the review concerns the previous five years.This is a Current Opinion journal, a series of established invite-only review journals that offer authoritative, systematic synthesis of emerging and hot topics.
