Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crystalline materials have played a pivotal role in various scientific and technological advancements, and their study continues to be of great significance in materials science and engineering. The understanding of their structural properties, as well as the investigation of their behavior under different conditions, are crucial for the development of novel applications and the enhancement of existing technologies.
The Special Issue, entitled "Modelling and Experiments Investigation of Crystalline Materials", aims to gather cutting-edge research on the theoretical modelling and experimental investigation of crystalline materials, focusing on their properties, behavior, and applications across various disciplines. We cordially invite researchers from academia, industry, and research institutions to contribute their original research articles and review articles to this Special Issue. The scope of this issue includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: crystal structure determination and characterization techniques; computational modelling and simulation of crystalline materials; the mechanical properties and deformation behavior of crystals; the electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of crystalline materials; phase transitions and phase diagrams in crystalline materials; and the growth and synthesis of crystalline materials. We particularly encourage contributions that present interdisciplinary research, novel methodologies, and innovative experimental or theoretical approaches. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform for exchanging ideas and showcasing the latest advancements in the field of crystalline materials.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
