Novel Advances in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) for Materials Science

Dear Colleagues,

NMR is a powerful experimental technique that can be applied to solids and solutions in order to resolve details of the structure, chemical speciation, and species interactions occurring in materials. This non-destructive technique covers a wide range of applications not only in the basic sciences of chemistry, biology, and physics, but also in the fields of geology, medicine, health, and industry. Indeed, the presence of NMR active nuclei such as ¹H , ¹³C, ¹⁹F, ²⁷Al, ²⁹Si, and ³¹P in all materials makes the application of NMR spectroscopy so popular. Crucial information is obtained about the molecular and electronic structure of the system from the NMR chemical shift, the resonant frequency of a particular nucleus relative to a standard in an NMR spectrum. Recent advances in NMR instruments and methodology have made it possible to obtain information about much more challenging nuclei and systems as well.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploiting NMR spectroscopy focusing the state-of-the-art applications of NMR experiments, both solution and solid state, in the fields of material sciences. Review papers about applications of NMR in general or any particular area are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
