About the Journal and Award Selection
The Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion (JPED) is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed publication that explores the properties of phases in inorganic materials, with a special focus on alloy systems. It features research on crystallography, chemistry, diffusion, thermodynamics, and kinetics, with contributions from international experts. JPED also includes phase diagram evaluations and covers various aspects of phase transformations, solidification, and environmental performance. Every year, the editorial team of JPED reviews the published papers to select a few exceptional ones for the Editor’s Choice Award. The selection process considers various factors such as the quality of research, clarity of text and figures, originality, and relevance to the field.
This recognition is particularly meaningful as the manuscript was part of a special tribute issue of the journal, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Mats Hillert’s birth.
