Scripta Materialia

Aims & Scope

Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials.

The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research.

Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed.

Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
