‘Metallophysics and Advanced Technologies’ or ‘Metallofizika i Noveishie Tekhnologii’ (‘MNT’) publishes original works (regular papers and reviews) not previously published and not being considered for publication elsewhere. The works accepted for publication in ‘MNT’ will not be published elsewhere in the same language without the consent of the Editors and Publisher. It is a condition of acceptance by the Editor of a manuscript for publication that the Publishers acquire automatically the copyright in the manuscript throughout the world. The journal publishes the new results of experimental and theoretical researches in the physics and technology of metals, alloys, and compounds with metallic properties; reviews of the monographs; information on conferences and seminars; information on the history of metal physics; advertising of new technologies, materials, and devices. Scope of the Journal: Electronic Structure and Properties, Crystal-Lattice Defects, Phase Transformations, Physics of Strength and Plasticity, Metallic Surfaces and Films, Structure and Properties of Nanoscale and Mesoscopic Materials, Amorphous and Liquid States, Interactions of Radiation and Particles with Condensed Matter, Materials in Extremal Conditions, Reactor and Aerospace Metals Science, Medical Metals Science, New Metallic Materials and Synthetic Metals, Metal-Containing Smart Materials, Physical and Technical Bases of Experiment and Diagnostics, Articles under Discussion.
