Description: This eleventh volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which have appeared since the publication of Annual Retrospective X (Volume 272). As well as the 295 metals abstracts, the issue includes – in line with the new editorial policy of including original papers on all of the major material groups: “Structural and Electron-Hopping Studies of Pr- and Nd-Substituted La2/3Ba1/3MnO3 Manganites” (H.Abdullah and S.A.Halim), “Recrystallization Annealing of Cold-Rolled 9Cr-1Mo Ferritic Steel Containing Silicon” (M.N.Mungole, M.Surender, R.Balasubramaniam and S.Bhargava), “Quantitative Concept for Morphological Stability Analysis of Solid/Liquid Interface in Rapid Solidification of Dilute Binary Alloys” (M.Draissia), “Studies of the Spin Hamiltonian Parameters for NiX2 and CdX2:Ni2+ (X = Cl, Br) (Z.H.Zhang, S.Y.Wu, X.F.Wang and Y.X.Hu).

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The rare earth elements and compounds have unique spectroscopic, magnetic and chemical properties. These materials not only provide interesting windows into many aspects of science but are being used in an ever increasing number of strategic applications, particularly in the high growth sectors of world economics such as electronics, environmental protection (catalysis), magnets, nuclear medicine therapy and agriculture.

Description: Condensed matter physics is an important field, not only for physicists, but also for other scientists and engineers. It encompasses all types of solid and liquid materials. Solid-state phenomena in metals, semiconductors, dielectrics, magnetic and optical materials in all their forms (crystalline, amorphous, nanocrystalline, polymer, liquid) are being intensely investigated. This is being done both for fundamental reasons, and because of the numerous actual and possible practical applications. Therefore, condensed matter physics is also the keystone of electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering, technology, and the development of its methods thus has a direct influence upon applied sciences.
