Academic journal
Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials is a monthlypeer-reviewed scientific journal published in English. The journal publishes theoretical and experimental studies incrystallography of both organic and inorganic substances. Theeditor-in-chief of the journal isRainer Pöttgen [de ] from theUniversity of Münster .[ 1] The journal was founded in 1877 under the titleZeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie by crystallographer andmineralogist Paul Heinrich von Groth , who served as the editor for 44 years.[ 2] It has used several titles over its history, with the present title having been adopted in 2010.[ 3] The journal is indexed in a variety of databases and has a 2020impact factor of 1.616.[ 1] [ 4]
The journal was established in 1877 byPaul von Groth as a German-language publication under the titleZeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie , and he served as its editor until the end of 1920.[ 2] Groth was appointed as the inaugural Professor of Mineralogy at theUniversity of Strasbourg in 1872 and made great contributions to the disciplines ofmineralogy andcrystallography both there and, from 1883, as the curator at theDeutsches Museum in Munich. Groth was the first to classify minerals according to their chemical composition[ 5] and contributed to the understanding ofisomorphism and morphotropy in crystalline systems. Using the data from 55 volumes of the journal covering 39 years of publications (1877–1915) plus other sources, Groth produced the five volume workChemische Krystallographie between 1906 and 1919.[ 2] This work catalogued the chemical and physical properties of the between 9,000 and 10,000 crystalline substances known at the time.[ 2]
It has used a series of names over its history (see table below), finally becomingZeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials in 2010,[ 3] a name distinguishing it from the 1987 spin-off journalZeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures .[ 6]
Beginning in December 2002, the journal has produced special issues with articles grouped around a single theme. Topics covered include the analysis of complex materials usingpair distribution function methods,[ 11] [ 12] borates [ 13] (double issue),[ 14] [ 15] hydrogen storage ,[ 16] [ 17] in situ crystallisation ,[ 18] [ 19] mathematical crystallography ,[ 20] [ 21] mineral structures ,[ 22] [ 23] nanocrystallography ,[ 24] [ 25] phononic crystals ,[ 26] [ 27] photocrystallography ,[ 28] [ 29] the application ofprecession electron diffraction [ 30] [ 31] methods,[ 32] twinned crystals ,[ 33] [ 34] andzeolites [ 35] (double issue).[ 36] [ 37] On four occasions, one or two issues of the journal have been dedicated to the memory of a crystallographer or mineralogist, usually with a theme associated with the individual's work and a description of their contribution to the field. These are summarised in the table below:
