Phase Transitions and Physical Properties of Minerals under Extreme Conditions of Pressure and Temperature

Dear colleagues,

The fast pace of discovery of exoplanets and novel materials at high pressure challenge researchers to expand the pressure-temperature range to probe material properties under extreme conditions. There have been significant advances in static and dynamic compression techniques and increasing prediction power by first-principles simulations. In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute papers related to phase transitions and physical properties of minerals under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. We welcome contributions on high-pressure method development, results from both static and dynamic compression experiments, theoretical predictions, and modelling. Accepted manuscripts will be published immediately and collected together on the Special Issue homepage.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Minerals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
