About the journal
Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials
Crystals lie at the root of much of today's advanced technology. Near-perfect crystals of silicon and III-V compounds are needed for microprocessors and optoelectronics, magnetic crystals provide some computer memories, and crystals of all kinds are required for scientific studies and new applications.
This journal is the only review journal which provides a repository of articles and references on the growth and characterization of crystals and their applications. As the years go by it is building up into an invaluable source of information on a wide range of topics.
Advances in the techniques of growing and assessing ever more perfect crystals of a wide range of materials lie at the roots of much of today's advanced technology. The literature of crystal growth is expanding faster than almost any comparable field of science. This journal is planned to fill the need for communication and act as a rapid publication medium for review articles and conference reports in order to keep abreast of developments in this field.
Crystal growth and characterization (or assessment) is of vital interest to many scientists in industry and in universities. The journal covers all aspects of crystal growth and characterization including crystals of semiconductors and electronic materials, oxides, synthetic materials, magnetic and optical crystals, organic and biological crystals and metals. Topics in eutectics, thin film and theory of crystal growth are included and also methods of assessing crystal perfection and purity. The wide-ranging interdisciplinary nature of Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials means that it is of interest to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, electronic engineers and metallurgists as well as specialists in crystal growth. Emphasis on practical developments and problems ensures its importance for workers in industry.
This journal carries full review articles, state-of-the-art reports, reviews of important new publications and lists of forthcoming meetings in the field of crystal growth and characterization.

Instructions to Authors
Submission of Papers
Authors are requested to firstly submit a draft form to either an Associate Editor, or directly to the Editor in Chief, whichever is more convient.
Draft submission: Manuscripts submitted in draft form for editorial consideration should be typed double spaced with ample margins, on one side of A4 paper. Errors at this stage may be crossed out and either typed afterwoards or corrected. Figures and tables need not be in final form, but their final size and content should be made clear.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. Full responsibility for the paper rests with the author. You must have taken the necessary steps to obtain permission for using any material that might be protected by copyright.
Accepted papers which do not comply with these instructions may suffer long delays in production and may be returned to the author for retyping to these specifications. Authors should use their judgement in handling items not covered by these instructions. Should authors not be able to comply with these instructions, would they please contact the Editors or the Publisher. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use.
Corrections to the final versions of papers cannot be undertaken by the Publisher, or the Symposium Editor if it is for Conference Proceedings once. The Symposium Editor has the right to omit your paper from the Proceedings if it does not comply with the instructions.
Types of Contributions
Review articles should be of general interest to crystal growers and materials scientists, with emphasis on explanation and guidance to the non-expert. The aim is to provide articles of lasting value that will become established as the reference article in the particular subject. Whereas scientific journals require articles to be original and make a significant contribution to the subject while at the same time being short in length, the review article is meant to be general and emphasize conclusions rather than concentrating on the most recent specific information. Authors are invited to write articles usually on the grounds that they are experts in their field and capable of providing an overview of the subject after having previously published several papers in the particular field. The journal is addressed to postgraduate students, as well as scientists and engineers, who are looking for a comprehensive summary and review of a subject in which they have no expert knowledge. Newcomers to the field are interested in obtaining an overview of the subject and are also interested in the opinions and selection of material by an expert. Scientists and engineers in the field of crystal growth and assessment will also look to the journal as a means of keeping up to date with fields related to their own but in which they do not consider themselves to be special.
Manuscript Preparation
In order to achieve rapid publication, the texts in the journal Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials will be printed directly from the authors' typescripts. The authors are therefore fully responsible for the quality of their article and are kindly requested to observe the following instructions for the preparation of their typescripts. To ensure that typescripts are published with the minimum delay it is essential that much greater care than usual be taken with the typing. Authors writing in a language that is not their own are strongly advised to obtain the help of a suitable colleague to ensure that the typescript is clear and grammatically correct. Please have your final drafts read by a least two other persons before submission.
General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, single spaced, on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 pt are required in black ink. The text dimensions must be no larger than 160 mm width by 240 mm depth. Times font is preferred. Do not indent when starting a new paragraph; leave one line between paragraphs. Although single spacing is preferable, highly mathematical papers with extensive use of super- and subscripts in text may be typed in 1.5 spacing throughout. Number each page lightly with a blue pencil. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible.
Abstracts: An abstract should precede the text, giving a brief account of the most relevant aspects of the paper (100-200 words).
Keywords: Each paper must include 5-10 keywords in order to indicate the main topics discussed in the paper and to provide basic terms for indexing. PACS codes should also be supplied.
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References.
First page: Start with the article title, names(s) of the author(s) and affiliations(s). Abstract, keywords and main text follow. Authors are requested to supply, on a separate sheet, the name(s) and address(es) to which communications should be sent. Headings: Authors are requested to restrict the use of headings to three levels where possible. The headings should be presented as given below:
- Main headings should be typed in capitals and flush to the left-hand side margin. Leave a space of two lines above and one line below these headings.
- Subheadings should be typed flush to the left-hand margin in capitals and lowercase with initial capitals for all main words. Underline these headings and leave a space of two lines above and one line below.
- Sub-subheadings should be typed as for "subheadings and underlined, but the following text should run on after a full stop.
Numbers or letters for headings should be avoided, unless such labelling is necessary to facilitate cross-referencing.
Footnotes: Footnotes should be avoided if possible. Necessary footnotes should be denoted in the text by superscript consecutive numbers. The footnote should be typed single spaced, and in a smaller font size, at the foot of the page on which it is mentioned. The footnote should be separated from the main text by a line extending halfway across the page. Leave a two-line space above the footnote line.
Equations: Equations should be typed within the text and should be numbered consecutively throughout the typescript. The equation's number should be typed in parentheses, flush with the right-hand margin; do not have dots leading to numbers. Any symbols should be typed and not handwritten.
Mathematical expression: Where mathematical expressions appear in the text, requiring more space either above or below the line (e.g. where a square root sign or a superscript number appears), then the line containing such characters should be 1.5 spaced below the preceding line and above the following line. Simple expressions should be left in the text, typed on one line, using the solidus (i.e. a/x) instead of a two-line form wherever possible to avoid awkward line spacing. Subscripts and superscripts should be clearly typed as such, and the typescript should be scrutinized carefully to ensure that there is no ambiguity in the way in which they appear.
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to references by a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. Since Jensen [1]), and the full reference should be given in a numerical list at the end of the paper.
References should be given in the following form:
1. K.F. Jensen, T.G. Mihopoulos, S. Rodger and H. Simka, In: Chemical Vapor Deposition XIII. Eds. T.M. Besmann et al., The Electrochemical Soc., Pennington NJ, 67 (1996).
2. R.C. Reid, J.M. Prausnitz and T.K. Sherwood, The Properties of Gases and Liquids, McGraw-Hill, New York, NY (1997).
Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. All figures are to have a caption. Illustrations should be pasted into position on the typed pages as close as possible to the first reference to them. Each illustration should have a space of approximately 1 cm above and 0.5 cm below. The figure caption should be typed below the illustration. The word "Figure" should be shortened to "Fig." at the beginning of the figure caption and it should be shortened to "Fig." in the text except where it begins a sentence, when it should be spelled out in full - "Figure". Figure captions should be typed flush to the left-hand margin and should not exceed the right-hand margin.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph (Micrographs). Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour: Colour artwork can only be reproduced if the author is prepared to pay for the printing costs. Full details are available upon request from Author Services at Elsevier Science.
Tables: Tables are to be typed within the type area. Leave one line space after the text and type the table heading, including the table number, flush to the left-hand margin. Leave one line space between the heading and the table. Tables should be numbered consecutively. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs).
Offprints
Twenty-five offprints will be supplied free of charge. Additional offprints and copies of the issue can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints (produced after publication of an article) will incur a 50% surcharge.
