Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mineral physics studies provide key knowledge on thermodynamic properties of constituents of the Earth’s and planetary interiors. Equations of state (EoS) remain a resourceful and powerful tool to model and evaluate the thermodynamic behaviors of any physical–chemical system. EoS characterizes the state of matter of a material under a given set of physical conditions and may be used to describe gases, fluids, fluid mixtures, and solids. In mineral physics, an EoS is used to determine how the volume (or density) of a material vary as a function of pressure and temperature. It reflects the atomic structure, chemical bonding, and stability of a material. This information, combined with geophysical and geochemical observations, helps to constrain the structure and dynamics of the Earth and other planets.
This Special Issue aims to include a representative group of experimental and theoretical papers in the field of equations of state and thermodynamic properties of minerals (as well as melts, fluids, and rocks) at high pressures and temperatures.

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. 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.
