Solid State Sciences is open to all the aspects related to the solid state: chemistry, structure combined with properties, physics, technology, modelling and simulation. The chemical aspects concerns novel ways of synthesis, new inorganic ceramics, layered, porous and glassy solids, hybrid organic-inorganic compounds synthesised either in the bulk or as thin films or nanoparticles and the associated chemical properties (catalytic, sensors, ion exchangers, gas separation...). The physical aspects relate to the structures and surface properties. A particular emphasis is put on electrical (super, metallic or semiconductors, ionic and mixed conductors, dielectrics), on magnetic and magnetooptical features associated with the structures, and on information storage. Optical behaviour as a consequence of atomic structure, symmetry and defects is more welcome than ever. A large opening to mechanical properties associated with textural defects and interface behaviour is also encouraged, particularly in special issues devoted to advanced structural materials.
