• · Application of Crystals

• · Atomic Coordination

• · Bravais Lattices

• · Crystal Growth Techniques and Phenomena (including Bulk Growth, Thin Films)

• · Crystal Structure Prediction

• · Crystal Structures Cleavage

• · Crystallographic Computing

• · Defects and Impurities of Crystal Structures

• · Determination of Crystal Structures

• · Experimental Crystallography and Biocrystallography

• · Grain Boundaries

• · Industrial Crystallisation

• · Lattice Systems

• · New Crystal Structures (including Liquid Crystals, Nanocrystals, Quasicrystals)

• · Nucleation Theory

• · Optical Properties of Crystal Structures

• · Physical Properties of Crystal Structures

• · Point Groups

• · Polymorphism

• · Simulation and Model of Crystal Structures

• · Space Groups







We are also interested in: 1) Short reports—2-5 page papers where an author can present either preliminary data or an idea with theoretical background but has not yet completed the research needed for a complete paper; 2) Book reviews—Comments and critiques.
