PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF MINERALS

Physics and Chemistry of Minerals is an international journal devoted to publishing articles and short communications of physical or chemical studies on minerals or solids related to minerals. Coverage emphasizes applications of modern techniques or new theories and models to interpret atomic structures and physical or chemical properties of minerals. The range of topics includes relationships between atomic structure and crystalline state; general solid state spectroscopy; experimental and theoretical analysis of chemical bonding in minerals; physical properties; relations between thermal expansion, compressibility, elastic constants, and fundamental properties of atomic structure, particularly as applied to geophysical problems; electron microscopy in support of physical and chemical studies; computational methods in the study of the structure and properties of minerals; mineral surfaces, and more.

《矿物的物理和化学》是一份国际期刊，致力于发表有关矿物或与矿物有关的固体的物理或化学研究的文章和简短通讯。报道强调应用现代技术或新理论和模型来解释矿物的原子结构和物理或化学性质。主题范围包括原子结构和晶体状态之间的关系;一般固体光谱学;矿物化学键合的实验与理论分析物理性质;热膨胀、压缩性、弹性常数与原子结构基本性质之间的关系，特别是应用于地球物理问题时;支持物理和化学研究的电子显微镜;研究矿物结构和性质的计算方法;矿物表面，等等。
