AIMS AND SCOPE
Computational Materials Science aims to enhance the communication between experimental materials research and computational work on both existing and new, advanced materials and their applications. It publishes articles of interest to physicists, chemists and materials researchers and engineers and to other scientists involved with materials phenomena and computational modelling. The journal covers computational modelling of materials properties and phenomena, ranging from the synthesis, characterisation and processing of materials, structures...
