The Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling is devoted to the publication of papers on the uses of computers in theoretical investigations of molecular structure, function, interaction, and design. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of molecular modeling and computational chemistry, including, for instance, the study of molecular shape and properties, molecular simulations, protein and polymer engineering, drug design, materials design, structure-activity and structure-property relationships, database mining, and compound library design.As a primary research journal, JMGM seeks to bring new knowledge to the attention of our readers. As such, submissions to the journal need to not only report results, but must draw conclusions and explore implications of the work presented. Authors are strongly encouraged to bear this in mind when preparing manuscripts. Routine applications of standard modelling approaches, providing only very limited new scientific insight, will not meet our criteria for publication. Reproducibility of reported calculations is an important issue. Wherever possible, we urge authors to enhance their papers with Supplementary Data, for example, in QSAR studies machine-readable versions of molecular datasets or in the development of new force-field parameters versions of the topology and force field parameter files.JMGM is published in association with two of the largest and most active professional societies in the field: the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society (MGMS) and the Computers in Chemistry (COMP) Division of the American Chemical Society. Several thousand computational chemists worldwide belong to these two societies and any research topic that may of interest to the membership is within the wide scope of the journal. It is not necessary to be a member of these professional societies to publish in the journal.Published in association with the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society www.mgms.org and the ACS Division of Computers in Chemistry.
The journal includes papers in the following areas:– Simple organic liquids and mixtures– Ionic liquids– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals– Ferrofluids– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts– Molten metals and salts– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solutionThe emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)– Dielectric relaxation– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted.
The activities of Trans Tech Publications Inc. began back in 1967 when the first volume of the now famous "Diffusion Data" series was published. The series was later enlarged, and renamed "Diffusion and Defect Data", and this year it celebrated the publication of its 400th volume; a number which is now added to at the rate of 24 volumes per year.Since 1967 when the first volume of "Diffusion Data" was published, Trans Tech Publications Inc. has grown steadily and is now active in a wide range of disciplines:Materials Science and Technology is still our most important field of activity and the periodicals, "Materials Science Forum", "Key Engineering Materials", "Defect and Diffusion Forum" and "Solid State Phenomena", "Advanced Materials Research", "Applied Mechanics and Materials", "Journal of Nano Research" and "Advances in Science and Technology", offer more than 35,000 pages of high-class research results per year.Each one of these periodicals is available online in full text via our well-known www.scientific.net platform. The site currently features 10 periodicals and over 355,000 pages of highly scientific research.In 1998 we started our monograph series "Materials Science Foundations" which has since then published over 25 titles. Each monograph is treating its chosen topic exhaustively, and seeks in particular to draw together the strands of current theory and industrial practice.In order to serve the world's science and engineering community better, Trans Tech Publications Inc. - has established offices in Switzerland, the UK and the United States of America, and our products are available via numerous agents and distributors in all parts of the world.In all of the fields in which we are active, we pride ourselves on being well-accepted by our readers, authors and editors of conference proceedings alike.
JNO is a cross-disciplinary peer-reviewed journal to consolidate all experimental and theoretical research activities in the areas of nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic materials and devices, electronic and optical properties of semiconductors, inorganic, organic, and hybrid nanostructures, electronic applications of superlattices, quantum structures, and other nanostructures, optoelectronic and photonic applications of novel functional materials and nanostructures, nanoelectronic circuits and device integration, nanofabrication, processing and characterization techniques, information processing and optical communications.
The overall aim of the Journal of Nanomaterials is to bring science and applications together on nanoscale and nanostructured materials with emphasis on synthesis, processing, characterization, and applications of materials containing true nanosize dimensions or nanostructures that enable novel/enhanced properties or functions. It is directed at both academic researchers and practicing engineers. Journal of Nanomaterials will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in nanomaterials science, engineering, and nanotechnology, both for application development and for basic research. All papers should emphasize original results relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and/or applications of nanomaterials ranging from hard (inorganic) materials, through soft (polymeric and biological) materials, to hybrid materials or nanocomposites. Review papers summarizing the state of the art for a particular research field or tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of nanomaterials and those related to significant nanotechnologies, are also welcome. Journal of Nanomaterials employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer review process.Subject areas include (but are by no means limited to):Nanoparticles, nanocrystals, colloids, sols, and quantum dotsSelf-assemblies and directed assemblies (of moledules and nanoparticles)Films, membranes, and coatingsNanotubes, nanowires, nanofibers, nanorods, and nanobeltsNanoporous, mesoporous, and microporous materialsHierarchical structures and molecular-particle networksSurface and interface sciences and engineeringInorganic-organic hybrids or nanocompositesNanoceramics, metals, and alloysNanomaterials (atomic, molecular, and bulk) characterization techniquesAreas of nanomaterials engineering and applications include (but are not limited to):Chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical technologiesCatalysis, gas/liquid separations, and membrane reactorsEnergy conversion and storage devices/systems such as fuel cells and solar cellsElectronics, photonics, and magneticsSensorsMedicinal, biological, and drug developmentEnvironmental, building, transportation, telecommunications, and food technologiesNuclear, aerospace, military, and national defense/security technologies.
