The review journal Uspehi Fiziki Metallov (abbreviated key-title — Usp. Fiz. Met.) was founded in 2000 (the state registration certificate of the printed mass medium KB # 4160 as from 20.04.2000). In 2018, after the re-registration procedure, according to the assigned new registration certificate КВ # 23233-13073ПР as of 22.03.2018, in addition to the transliterated title Uspehi Fiziki Metallov, the journal received an official parallel title Progress in Physics of Metals (abbreviated title — Prog. Phys. Met.). The journal publishes the review research articles (which comply with the principles of publication ethics and rules for authors) comprising reviews (i.e. overview papers summarizing and analyzing the current state of understanding on a topic) of experimental or/and theoretical results in physics and technology of metals, alloys, compounds, and materials possessing metallic or semimetallic properties. Reviews on monographs, data on the history of metal physics, information about advanced technologies, materials and devices, conferences and seminars may be considered as well.

Scope of the Journal

  • Electronic Structure, Electrical, Magnetic and Optical Properties;
  • Interactions of Radiation and Particles with Solids and Liquids;
  • Structure and Properties of Amorphous Solids and Liquids;
  • Defects and Dynamics of Crystal Structure;
  • Mechanical, Thermal and Kinetic Properties;
  • Phase Equilibria and Transformations;
  • Interphase Boundaries, Metal Surfaces and Films;
  • Treatment of Metallic Materials and Its Effects on Microstructure and Properties;
  • Structure and Properties of Nanoscale or Mesoscopic Materials (Including Quasi-Two-Dimensional) with (Semi)Metallic Properties.
