Acta Materialia provides a forum for publishing full-length, original papers and commissioned overviews that advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the processing, the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. Papers that have a high impact potential and/or substantially advance the field are sought. The structure encompasses atomic and molecular arrangements, chemical and electronic structures, and microstructure. Emphasis is on either the mechanical or functional behavior of inorganic solids at all length scales down to nanostructures.The following aspects of the science and engineering of inorganic materials are of particular interest:(i) Cutting-edge experiments and theory as they relate to the understanding of the properties,(ii) Elucidation of the mechanisms involved in the synthesis and processing of materials specifically as they relate to the understanding of the properties,and(iii) Characterization of the structure and chemistry of materials specifically as it relates to the understanding of the properties.Acta Materialia welcomes papers that employ theory and/or simulation (or numerical methods) that substantially advance our understanding of the structure and properties of inorganic materials. Such papers should demonstrate relevance to the materials community by, for example, making a comparison with experimental results (in the literature or in the present study), making testable microstructural or property predictions or elucidating an important phenomenon. Papers that focus primarily on model parameter studies, development of methodology or those employing existing software packages to obtain standard or incremental results are discouraged.
材料学报为发表完整的原创论文和委托综述提供了一个论坛，这有助于深入了解无机材料的加工、结构和性能之间的关系。寻求具有高影响潜力或实质性推进该领域的论文。这种结构包括原子和分子排列、化学和电子结构以及微观结构。重点是无机固体在任何长度上的机械或功能行为，可按比例缩小到纳米结构。无机材料科学和工程的以下方面尤其重要：（i）与了解特性相关的尖端实验和理论，（ii）阐明材料合成和加工过程中所涉及的机制，特别是与理解特性有关的机制，以及（iii）材料的结构和化学特性，尤其是与理解特性有关的特性。材料学报欢迎采用理论或模拟（或数值方法）的论文，这些理论或模拟（或数值方法）大大提高了我们对无机材料结构和性能的理解。例如，这些论文应通过与实验结果（在文献或本研究中）进行比较、做出可测试的微观结构或性能预测或阐明一个重要现象来证明与材料界的相关性。不鼓励主要关注模型参数研究、方法开发或使用现有软件包获得标准或增量结果的论文。
