PROGRESS IN SOLID STATE CHEMISTRY

固态化学的进展通过提供该领域公认权威机构撰写的最新评论，呈现了固态的化学观点。它还发表了研究进展的调查和专门的文章，致力于总结特定的最新发展。其目的是解决有关固体化学的文献所带来的需求，这些文献被广泛地分散开来，使得很难对当前的知识状态进行广泛而统一的评估。特别强调了物理性质和结构化学的关系。虽然结构化学曾经主要关注完美固体，但大多数关注固体性质的活动集中在缺陷上。在现代固体化学中，空位、位错和正空穴等在固体本身之外没有独立存在的实体是最重要的。固体化学进展中发表的评论强调了该领域的关键评估，以及当前问题和未来方向的指示。论文本质上不是书目性质的，而是通过提供面向固态不同领域专家和非专业人士的专家论文，在固有的多学科领域为广大读者提供信息。作者是国际性的，对固体感兴趣的化学家、材料科学家、物理学家、冶金学家、晶体学家、陶艺家和工程师将感兴趣。

Progress in Solid State Chemistry presents a chemical view of the solid state by providing up-to-date critical reviews written by acknowledged authorities in the field. It also publishes surveys of research progress and specialized articles devoted to summarizing particular recent developments. The aim is to address the need brought about by the literature on the chemistry of the solid state being widely dispersed, making it difficult to obtain a broad and unified assessment of the present state of knowledge. Special emphasis is given to relating physical properties and structural chemistry. Whereas structural chemistry at one time was concerned mostly with perfect solids, most activity focused upon understanding of solid properties focuses on imperfections. Entities such as vacancies, dislocations, and positive holes, which have no independent existence outside the solid itself, are of prime importance in modern solid state chemistry. The reviews published in Progress in Solid State Chemistry emphasize critical evaluation of the field, along with indications of current problems and future directions. Papers are not intended to be bibliographic in nature but rather to inform a broad range of readers in an inherently multidisciplinary field by providing expert treatises oriented both towards specialists in different areas of the solid state and towards nonspecialists. The authorship is international, and the subject matter will be of interest to chemists, materials scientists, physicists, metallurgists, crystallographers, ceramists, and engineers interested in the solid state.
