Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations and Advances

期刊简介：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.

【译文】《Acta Crystallographica Section A: 基础与进展》发表关于最广泛意义上的晶体学理论与实践的所有领域的进展文章。除了传统晶体学，这还包括纳米晶体、超晶体、非晶材料、准晶体、同步辐射和XFEL研究、相干散射、衍射成像、时间分辨研究和材料中应变和缺陷的结构。该期刊分为两个部分，一个是快速发表的进展部分，另一个是传统的基础部分。进展部分的文章特别有价值且影响大。它们将获得快速处理，并可能由一篇伴随的科学评论文章和新闻稿突出展示。更多详情请参阅2013年11月的社论。
