The aim of Crystal Growth & Design is to stimulate crossfertilization of knowledge among scientists and engineers working in the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, and the industrial application of crystalline materials.Crystal Growth & Design publishes theoretical and experimental studies of the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena and processes related to the design, growth, and application of crystalline materials. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies and integrating the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, intermolecular interactions, and industrial application are encouraged.Contributions emphasizing the fundamental concepts of crystal growth and supporting further understanding of the relationship between crystal growth conditions and resulting properties of the crystal (e.g., crystal shape, conduction, solubility) are highlighted.The journal primarily covers the following:Crystal engineering (e.g., organic, inorganic, and hybrid solids)Crystal growth of inorganic, organic, and biological substances (e.g., biomineralization)Polymorphism, polytypismDevelopment of new nanostructured phasesIntermolecular interactions in the solid state (e.g., hydrogen bonding, lattice energies)Modeling of crystal growth processesPrediction of crystal structure and crystal habitDetermination and calculation of electronic distribution in the solid stateNucleation theoryMolecular kinetics and transport phenomena in crystal growthPhase transitionsSolvation and crystallization phenomena, modeling of crystallization processesPurification techniques, industrial crystallizationCrystal Growth & Design does not cover routine reports of crystal or molecular structures.
