Metallic Glasses and Amorphous Alloys: Recent Advances and Future Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last two decades, metallic glasses, also known as amorphous alloys, have received extensive research interest owing to their unique and desirable properties in terms of engineering applications, including large elastic strain limit, high strength, low Young's modulus, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on the recent advances in and future prospects of metallic glasses, focusing mainly on glass formation, structure evolution, as well as mechanical and magnetic properties. In addition, this Special Issue will present discussions of advanced characterization techniques used to analyze and understand metallic glasses, including experimental methods, simulations, and theoretical expressions.

We welcome the submission of full papers, theoretical studies, communications, and reviews to this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Weihuo Li
Guest Editor

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
