About the Journal
"Functional Materials" (FM) is a peer-reviewed, fee-free, open-access multidisciplinary journal that publishes original research and review articles on theoretical and experimental studies, synthesis approaches, and practical applications of inorganic and organic materials developed for diverse functional purposes.
The journal gives primary attention to the following areas:
-
Development of functional materials with tailored properties, including light-emitting materials, electro- and magneto-optical materials, semiconductors, ferroics, piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials, superconductors, and others — with a focus on their synthesis and design.
-
Investigation of the structure, phase transformations, and properties of single crystals, ceramics, composites, amorphous solids, liquid crystals, polymers, thin films, and low-dimensional systems (such as whiskers, superlattices, heterostructures, and surface layers), as well as nanostructures (quantum dots, nanowires, nanocrystals, and their ensembles) in the context of materials science.
-
Modern methods for modeling, investigating, and characterizing functional materials.
-
Challenges and methods related to the application of functional materials in advanced technologies, including nanotechnology, optics, electronics, ionizing radiation detection, light-emitting devices, sensors, and information storage systems.
-
Design and study of multifunctional nanomaterials for a broad range of biological and medical applications.
