Acta Crystallographica A-Foundation and Advances

Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations and Advances publishes articles reporting advances in the theory and practice of all areas of crystallography in the broadest sense. As well as traditional crystallography, this includes nanocrystals, metacrystals, amorphous materials, quasicrystals, synchrotron and XFEL studies, coherent scattering, diffraction imaging, time-resolved studies and the structure of strain and defects in materials.The journal has two parts, a rapid-publication Advances section and the traditional Foundations section. Articles for the Advances section are of particularly high value and impact. They receive expedited treatment and may be highlighted by an accompanying scientific commentary article and a press release. Further details are given in the November 2013 Editorial.The central themes of the journal are, on the one hand, experimental and theoretical studies of the properties and arrangements of atoms, ions and molecules in condensed matter, periodic, quasiperiodic or amorphous, ideal or real, and, on the other, the theoretical and experimental aspects of the various methods to determine these properties and arrangements.We look forward to receiving your submissions.

结晶学学报A辑：基础与进展发表文章，报告最广泛意义上结晶学所有领域的理论与实践进展。除了传统的结晶学，这包括纳米晶体、超晶体、非晶材料、准晶体、同步加速器和xfel研究、相干散射、衍射成像、时间分辨研究以及材料的应变和缺陷结构。该期刊分为两部分：快速出版推进部分和传统基础部分。预付款部分的文章具有特别高的价值和影响。他们得到了迅速的治疗，并可能通过一篇附带的科学评论文章和一篇新闻稿加以强调。更多细节见2013年11月的社论。该期刊的中心主题一方面：属性和安排的实验和理论研究原子、离子和分子凝聚态、周期、准周期的或非晶态、理想的或真实；另一方面：理论和实验方面的各种方法来确定这些属性和安排。我们期待收到您的提交。
