USPEHI FIZIKI METALLOV / PROGRESS IN PHYSICS OF METALS
WHAT IS IT? WHO READS IT? HOW OFTEN?
The research journal USPEHI FIZIKI METALLOV (UFM) is published since
2000 by the Institute for Metal Physics (IMPh) of the National Academy
of Sciences of the Ukraine (NASU), a leading European institution in
the physics of metals, metallic compounds and alloys. This edition pub-
lish topical results of fundamental research and applications of metallic
solids and liquids.
It is a comprehensive source of important information for all scien-
tists and engineers working in metal physics and physical metallurgy.
Each volume includes 4 quarterly issues, which will be abstracted
and/or indexed in: ‘Dzherelo’—NASU, Ukraine; ISI

The journal includes the following categories of contributions within
the subject area: full-length subject review articles (c. 64 000 words) of
research work which are assessed by one or more independent refe-
rees, and when necessary by an adjudicator; and from time to time in-
teresting information items pertinent to the metal physics field. Editorial
Board members propose that, in addition to regular review papers, in-
vited review articles (c. 64 000 words) submitted by world known scien-
tists on various topics of physical metallurgy and technological applica-

tions should be published. These review papers would enhance the
quality and international profile of the journal. It would also provide an
excellent opportunity to build bridges for future co-operation which are
essential for the survival of a harmonious scientific community. Spon-
sorship by means of the journal may be one way to progress this inter-
nationalization.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The present-day Editorial Board of UFM works to present and integrate
the journal into the international forum. To meet this objective we have
substantially extended the scope of the journal, so that it covers the
achievements in the multidisciplinary field of development and appli-
cation of advanced technologies and materials, based on fundamental
principles of the physics of metals and metallic compounds.
From the end of 2000, the Editorial Board reformed and expanded its
team (and proposes to expand it further) with the appointment of new
appropriate specialists and foreign Regional Editors to the Editorial Ad-
visory Board who may acquire and commission manuscripts, arrange
and initiate the review procedure and approve the manuscript for publi-
cation. Alternatively, members of the Editorial Advisory Board may send
manuscripts to other members of the editorial team, recommending
particular referees. In line with this, even the Ukrainian edition of the
journal includes the papers written/submitted in English, as well as in
Russian or Ukrainian.
To maintain the quality of our journal, we are constantly updating and
expanding our list of referees with known scientific expertise whose
views and backgrounds reflect the diversity of interests covered by the
UFM. (If scientists are willing to referee articles occasionally, they can
submit their contact details and areas of expertise by electronic mail to
the e-mail addresses shown at the end of this editorial. This will ensure
that any articles sent them for review will be closely related to the ap-
propriate subject area.)
In order to improve the scientific level of our journal and update the
aims and scope, the Editorial Board proposes to implement a stricter
procedure for the selection of submitted papers according to the high-
est professional standards stated below.
The scientific guidelines of the journal will be defined by current de-
velopments in physical sciences of metals, metallic compounds and al-
loys, combined with practical demands. Such a strategy is based on the
fact that materials science and metal-intensive industry embody advances
in physics pertaining to the metallic nature of the above mater ials.
In this way, the journal publications will aim to discover and publish
fundamentally new methods and techniques for producing extraordinary
metallic materials with considerably improved physical properties, mate-

rials capable of functioning in extreme conditions and meeting the
steadily growing requirements of progress in science and technology.
These papers should present problems concerning the development of
fundamentally new processes and equipment for modern engineering
and technology of an entirely new type, on the basis of materials de-
sign. Information about possible ways of drastically reorganizing current
manufacturing practice to develop energy- and material-saving tech-
nologies is desirable.
CONTENTS OF THE JOURNAL
With reference to the general requirements of production engineering
and know-how, the Editorial Board regards the following types of review
papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, computational and ap-
plied aspects of investigations as the most important and up-to-date:
(i) papers reporting on studies of structural, physical and electronic
properties on the atomic and electronic-states’ levels, including elec-
tronic band structure and Fermi surfaces, X-ray spectra and optical
properties, electronic conduction and superconductivity. This includes
properties of crystalline, amorphous and liquid metals, alloys and metal-
lic thin films. Also, papers on lattice-dynamic, thermal, non-electronic
transport and magnetic properties specific to metallic systems, poly-
morphic and disorder–order-type phase transitions, surface properties
where the metallic nature of the substrate is important, mechanical
properties (plasticity, strength, fracture, etc.), behaviour of point de-
fects, defect clusters, dislocations, grain and twin boundaries, precipi-
tates, interfaces, stacking faults and other extended defects, and their
study by high-resolution electron microscopy and neutron and X-ray dif-
fraction including synchrotron-source X-ray scattering, etc. Fundamen-
tal and applied investigations of the structural changes and phase
transformations of metals and alloys under extreme conditions (such as
high or low temperatures, high pressure or vacuum) as well as in par-
ticular states (e.g. ultra-thin films, surface and interfacial layers, multi-
layered structures, monocrystals, quasicrystals, nanocrystalline and
microcrystalline materials) under the influence of various external fac-
tors (such as radiation, ultrasonic waves, impact stresses, cyclic me-
chanical and thermal effects, corrosive conditions, rapid heating) are of
special interest;
(ii) papers on studies of the relations of structural changes and phase
transformations with observable physical properties, interaction be-
tween different-type radiations and metals or metallic compounds. Such
investigations should include the further development of new techno-
logical treatments and investigation techniques for metals and alloys in
the particular conditions and states;
(iii) papers dealing with the less-idealized models and concepts
4 Editorial
which take into consideration various types of defects and their interac-
tions, non-linear phenomena and synergetics, switching to theoretical
and experimental investigations that clearly recognize the mutual influ-
ence of atomic, crystal-lattice and electronic structures;
(iv) papers presenting theoretical and experimental research that
takes cognizance of the interaction of different types of quasiparticles in
metals and alloys, the development of concepts and formulation of a
general theory of the condensed matter state (applicable not only to
crystalline solids but also to liquids and amorphous materials);
(v) papers which combine theoretical and experimental studies in the
interdisciplinary physics of metals and related areas of science and tech-
nology (materials research, nuclear physics, biophysics, and biomedical
engineering), assuring their mutual co-operation and enrichment;
(vi) papers which provide more extensive use and applications of
methods of computer simulation of physical processes in metals and
alloys.
In the immediate future the Editorial Board will publish papers which
detail the following subjects (besides purely fundamental ones):
(a) research of Fe-, Ni-, Cr-, Mo-, Ti-, Zr-, Hf-, Be-, Mg-, Al-, Y-, and
Sc-based materials;
(b) design of alloys for the aviation and space industries, which pro-
vide stable and reliable operation in extreme conditions;
(c) development of high-nitrogen and hydrogen steels and alloys;
(d) design and production of weldable steels and alloys with control-
lable properties;
(e) development of new cast structural alloys, cast and pressed me-
tallic materials which combine strength with special properties, e.g.,
highly wear-resistant chilled cast iron;
(f) development of materials with the special properties associated
with phenomena of thermoelastic phase equilibrium;
(g) development of special methods for diagnostics of crystals with
premodified controllable structure and properties including X-ray scat-
tering.

COMPUSCRIPTS
Electronic text submissions are welcomed, and we will continue to re-
quest that authors submit the final version of their paper on disk. Sub-
mitting papers on disk has clear advantages for the speed of publica-
tion and this is an attractive option for the authors. Electronic author
submissions may also be available; they can be sent by e-mail to
ufm@imp.kiev.ua, tatar@imp.kiev.ua.
For our production system all papers must have disks accompanying
the MSS (plus original illustrations). It is the responsibility of the authors
to ensure that the version on diskette exactly matches that on printed
hard-copy paper. The preferred storage medium is a standard 3½ inch
diskette formatted for MS-DOS compatibility (although other systems
are also welcomed). It is very important to save files in the word-
processor’s native format so that we can retain the maximum amount of
information and coding present in the original. Any of the well-known
word processors may be used. The name and version number of the
word-processing package, the type of operating system and computer
used should be clearly indicated on the diskette label with the article
title and author(s) name(s). Our preference is for IBM PC/Compatible
and MS-DOS with Microsoft Word for Windows XP, 7 or higher. Since
many authors are using TEX, we are planning to have the special style
sheets for UFM available on the Publisher’s ftp server.
