Special Issue on Mineral Materials

Iron is the fourth most common element in the earth's crust, and the second most common metal found there, following only aluminum. Iron is also the most common element in the earth as a whole (about 35% of the earth's mass is iron, most of it found in the core, in the form of iron-nickel alloy). The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of mineral materials.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore mineral materials. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Physical properties of minerals
• Chemical properties of minerals
• Rocks, ores, and gems
• Characterization of mineral materials
• Structure of mineral materials
• Applications of mineral materials

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Mineral Materials” should be selected during your submission.
