Zeitschrift fur Kristallographie - Crystalline Materials

Aims & Scope

Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials was founded in 1877 by Paul von Groth and is today one of the world’s oldest scientific journals.

It offers a place for researchers to present results of their theoretical experimental crystallographic studies.

The journal presents significant results on structures and on properties of organic/inorganic substances with crystalline character, periodically ordered, modulated or quasicrystalline on static and dynamic phenomena applying the various methods of diffraction, spectroscopy and microscopy.

Topics: General Aspects, Inorganic Crystal Structures, Organic and Metalorganic (including Biological), Crystal Structures, Technological Aspects, Computer Programs, Instrumentation, Material Properties.
