Ceramics-switzerland

Journal Title：Ceramics-switzerland

Ceramics Switzerland covers the scientific field of advanced ceramic materials. It encourages the publication of research results that demonstrate how understanding of fundamental chemical and physical phenomena can guide material design and inspire new or improved processing techniques to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties. Pay special attention to the fundamental scientific aspects related to the entire development scope of advanced ceramics, such as phase equilibrium and transformation, reactivity, transport processes, thermodynamics and electronic properties, as well as quantum effects in low dimensional materials. The preferred materials and areas of interest include advanced ceramics and composite materials for civilian, military, and industrial applications at room and moderate temperatures; High temperature and ultra-high temperature structural ceramics and composite materials used in extreme environments; Electric ceramics, such as dielectric and microwave ceramics, ferroelectric materials, piezoelectric materials, thermoelectric materials, and ferroelastic materials; Magnetic, multiferroic, semiconductor, and fast ion conductive ceramics; High temperature superconductors and topological insulators; Optical ceramics, including luminescent and color developing materials.

The materials involved include oxide and non oxide ceramics, functional glass, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (as well as their combinations with metals and organic materials), in the form of particles, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films, laminates, gradients, and composite structures. Topics related to craftsmanship, such as ceramic ceramic connections or connections between ceramics and different materials, as well as surface treatment and adjustment, are also covered within its scope. In addition to traditional processing techniques, the journal also focuses on innovative manufacturing routes that benefit from external stress, electromagnetic fields, and energy beams, as well as top-down and self-assembled nanotechnology methods.
