About the journal
Online-only and open access, npj Computational Materials publishes important findings in the application and development of computational approaches in materials science, including complementary experimental works.
Aims & Scope
npj Computational Materials publishes high-quality research papers that apply computational approaches for the design of new materials, and for enhancing our understanding of existing ones. New computational techniques – and the refinement of current approaches – that facilitate these aims are also welcome, as are experimental papers that complement computational findings.
Representative journal scope includes:
- Application and development of existing and emerging theoretical and simulation approaches for the study of materials in their entirety (organic and inorganic).
- Structure and property prediction of new materials, such as by the ‘materials by design’ paradigm.
- Significant new understanding of materials fundamentals, behavior and properties.
- Integrative/complementary experimental works that serve to validate, support and extend computational findings.
- High-throughput techniques – both computational and experimental – for large data set generation, and materials data mining.
npj Computational Materials additionally publishes critical discussion and analysis-based Reviews, and thought-provoking Perspectives.
Article and journal metrics

 Professor Jörg Neugebauer
Director, Computational Materials Design Department
Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
Düsseldorf, Germany
Professor Neugebauer's research focuses on developing ab initio simulation techniques and applying them onto a broad range of materials science questions. His department fosters simulation techniques spanning electronic structure, atomistic and mesoscopic approaches. Some scientific fields where his work has had major impacts on are optoelectronics, surface science, catalysis, crystal growth, metallurgy and molecular biology. A main goal of his more recent work involves extending DFT calculations that have been originally developed for zero Kelvin towards a full inclusion of finite temperature effects.
