Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Iopscience.Org/Stam Science and Technology of Advanced Materials iopscience.org/stam Open access journal Supported by Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Science and Technology of Advanced Materials How to submit your research Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM) is one of the highest rated gold open access journals in materials science. After peer review and acceptance, authors will be asked to pay an article publication charge (APC) of ¥135000/US$1600/€1260/£1050. Once published, articles are freely available to read. To celebrate our 15th volume, during 2014, articles identifi ed by the Editorial Board as being of particularly high quality will have their article publication charge sponsored by the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) and the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa). Plan Consider the best way to structure your article before you start. Science and Technology of Advanced Materials does not have a template, but asks that you submit your manuscript in single-column format. Choose a title that best serves your needs – an eye-catching one to attract as many readers as possible, or a descriptive one to engage readers with a specifi c interest in your area. Give some thought to your abstract. It should very concisely describe the content of your article, and encourage readers to view the entire article. No jargon or undefi ned abbreviations should be used. Writing Be clear and concise. Consider the readership of the journal, bearing in mind the knowledge expected of that audience. All content of your article should be relevant to your main scientifi c result. Editing Have a look through previously published articles for examples of article formatting, particularly with respect to order, referencing style and capitalization. Once the draft is ready to be submitted to the journal, carry out one fi nal spelling and grammar check before submission. Submissions STAM publishes reviews and regular research articles. All articles must be written in English and pass the peer- review process. STAM operation is managed by the Editorial Offi ce, which should receive all related enquiries.

In human terms the journal is junior-high-school age – young and having experienced many changes over the last five years. STAM was established in 2000 with the aim of being an international journal by publishing timely papers on scientific advances in materials science and engineering. The publication of the journal saw a turning point in 2005 when the management of the journal was transferred to the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba from The University of Tokyo. Notably, STAM became an open access journal in 2008 and adopted an author-friendly Creative Commons non-commercial licence (CC-BY-NC). This new publication platform was changed in 2013 by introducing the article processing charge (APC), although downloading articles is still free of charge and the licence was changed again in 2014 to a less-restrictive CC-BY. On 27 January 2014, Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, and NIMS signed a five-year collaborative agreement on co-publishing STAM. Both Empa and NIMS are the leading materials science research institutes in their respective countries with histories spanning more than half a century. Starting from 2008 several measures have been introduced to improve the quality, variety and visibility of STAM articles, and to speed up the publication process. Most importantly, STAM has invested in proactive dissemination and distribution of information about the journal to build readership. For example, selected articles are promoted via press releases and free distribution of printed copies at major scientific events. The topical coverage has been widened from traditional metals and ceramics to biomaterials, green technology, nano-devices and other frontier areas. As a result, the impact factor of STAM saw a continuous rise from 1.267 in 2008 to the most recent value of 3.752 in 2012. STAM has become one of the major prominent materials science journals in the world and is currently ranked 35th among 239 journals worldwide in the category of “Materials Science & Multidisciplinary” by Thomson Reuters. Needless to say, STAM is the leading materials science journal published in Japan. These achievements are a result of steadfast and multi-faceted efforts by STAM editors, referees and authors, for which I am sincerely grateful. Yet there is still a lot more to be done and I welcome submissions of new findings, as well as suggestions and ideas on how to steer the management of the journal in the future. This collection features a selection of 15 outstanding articles published in STAM during the last 15 years. Although we strived to be objective and used multiple criteria in selecting these from hundreds of papers published in STAM, a number of worthy candidates had to be excluded. I hope that we will be able to acknowledge the omitted articles in other STAM publications. iopscience.org/stam/15th-anniversary 3 Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Contents Organic materials Challenges and breakthroughs in recent research on self-assembly 6 Katsuhiko Ariga, Jonathan P Hill, Michael V Lee, Ajayan Vinu, Richard Charvet and Somobrata Acharya Technological advances in electrospinning of nanofibers 7 Wee-Eong Teo, Ryuji Inai and Seeram Ramakrishna Biomaterials Recent research and development in titanium alloys for biomedical applications and healthcare goods 8 Mitsuo Niinomi Porous hydroxyapatite for artificial bone applications 9 I Sopyan, M Mel, S Ramesh and K A Khalid Bioinspired phospholipid polymer biomaterials for making high performance artificial organs 9 K Ishihara Electronics Silicon-based oxynitride and nitride phosphors for white LEDs—A review 10 Rong-Jun Xie and Naoto Hirosaki Present status of amorphous In–Ga–Zn–O thin-film transistors 11 Toshio Kamiya, Kenji Nomura and Hideo Hosono Solid State Ionics: from Michael Faraday to green energy—the European dimension 12 Klaus Funke 4 iopscience.org/stam/15th-anniversary Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Environment Nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide photocatalysts for visible response prepared by 13 using organic compounds Yoshio Nosaka, Masami Matsushita, Junichi Nishino and Atsuko Y Nosaka The effect of nanocrystalline magnetite size on arsenic removal 14 J T Mayo, C Yavuz, S Yean, L Cong, H Shipley, W Yu, J Falkner, A Kan, M Tomson and V L Colvin Recent progress in mesoporous titania materials: adjusting morphology for innovative applications 15 Juan L Vivero-Escoto, Ya-Dong Chiang, Kevin C-W Wu and Yusuke Yamauchi Dispersion and surface functionalization of oxide nanoparticles for transparent photocatalytic 16 and UV-protecting coatings and sunscreens Bertrand Faure, German Salazar-Alvarez, Anwar Ahniyaz, Irune Villaluenga, Gemma Berriozabal, Yolanda R De Miguel and Lennart Bergström Ceramics Hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanostructures 17 Sunandan Baruah and Joydeep Dutta Point defects in ZnO: an approach from first principles 18 Fumiyasu Oba, Minseok Choi, Atsushi Togo and Isao Tanaka Metals Progress in thermomechanical control of steel plates and their commercialization 19 Kiyoshi Nishioka and Kazutoshi Ichikawa iopscience.org/stam/15th-anniversary 5 Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Organic materials EDITOR’S Challenges and breakthroughs in recent research on self-assembly CHOICE Katsuhiko Ariga, Jonathan P Hill, Michael V Lee, Ajayan Vinu, Richard Charvet and Somobrata Acharya 2008 Sci. Technol. Adv. Mater. 9 014109 Controlled production of nanometre-scale objects is a key issue of the current science and technology. “Top-down” fabrication techniques, such as lithography, are limited in the size of resulting structures and in the range of suitable bulk materials, urging development of Katsuhiko Ariga alternative (“bottom-up”) approaches based on self-assembly of individual molecules. This review covers a wide variety of self-assembly processes and introduces recent breakthroughs in (i) types of self-assembly in bulk media, (ii) types of components for self-assembly in bulk media and (iii) self-assembly at interfaces. It summarizes them according to the length scale as follows. At the smallest scale, structural control over molecular arrays yields nano-objects, whose properties are mostly affected by molecular attributes such as morphology and arrangement of functional groups. Yet for larger, micron-sized objects, optimization of hierarchical processes is becoming more important than molecular structure in creating novel materials. Self-assembly processes are also efficient in fabrication of macroscopic objects with a nanostructure. As those processes involve individual molecules, their use

  • Reviewing Guidelines
    www.advmat.de www.afm-journal.de www.small-journal.de REVIEWING GUIDELINES 1. GENERAL We try to ensure that the reviewers we select are experts in the relevant field(s) and do not have a conflict of interest, and can thus assist us in evaluating whether a manuscript is suitable for publication. In rare cases it can happen that we select an inappropriate reviewer—if this occurs, please inform us immediately. Time is a scarce resource—especially for reviewers. Therefore, we pre-screen manuscripts for quality, relevance, and interest. Initially, we do not contact more than three reviewers. If a reviewer is not able to review a manuscript at all, or by the deadline provided, they should inform us immediately so that an alternative reviewer can be found. A short extension of the reviewing deadline is certainly possible; please let us know if this is required. Suggestions for suitable alternative reviewers are greatly appreciated, but reviewers should not approach alternative reviewers directly, as manuscripts should be kept confidential. If we do not hear from a reviewer we assume that a report will be sent in time. Reviewers may be asked to evaluate a revised version of a manuscript; however, we will not send a manuscript back for re-review if we judge the authors have not made a serious attempt to revise their manuscript in response to the reviewer comments. Reviewers can use the To-Do list on their personal homepage at www.manuscriptXpress.com to download a PDF of the manuscript for review and to upload their completed review.

    U.S. Citizenship Non-Precedent Decision of the and Immigration Administrative Appeals Office Services In Re: 7977790 Date: MAY 27, 2020 Appeal of Nebraska Service Center Decision Form 1-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Extraordinary Ability) The Petitioner, an assistant project scientist engaged in biomolecular and biomaterials research, seeks classification as an individual of extraordinary ability. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 203(b)(l)(A), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(l)(A). This first preference classification makes immigrant visas available to those who can demonstrate their extraordinary ability through sustained national or international acclaim and whose achievements have been recognized in their field through extensive documentation. The Director of the Nebraska Service Center denied the petition, concluding that although the record established that the Petitioner satisfied the initial evidentiary requirements, it did not establish, as required, that the Petitioner has sustained national or international acclaim and is an individual in that small percentage at the very top of the field. The matter is now before us on appeal. The petitioner bears the burden of proof to demonstrate eligibility by a preponderance of the evidence. Section 291 of the Act; Matter of Chawathe, 25 I&N Dec. 369,375 (AAO 2010). The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) reviews the questions in this matter de novo.

  • Strategies for Publishing
    Strategies for Publishing • Visualize content for papers early in the project • Generate research outlines that predict paper activity • Engage your students and postdocs in paper writing and planning. • Prioritize experiments to expedite paper completion over extension of unrelated data. • Generate paper outlines early! Basic Strategies Continued • Avoid Conference Proceedings (unless you are in an EE/CS related field) that preclude publication elsewhere • Shoot for the highest impact reasonable for the topic/accomplishment in your paper. • Be strategic about communications versus full papers • Recognize opportunity for papers in unexpected but important findings • Tell students that a paper = a thesis chapter - then encourage the papers to come first! (Avoid post-graduation writing as much as possible) Aspects of Writing • Look at the journal’s papers that you are aiming for, recognize style and subject matter that “fit”. • The introduction and the cover letter are key to persuading others the work is important • Avoid dry or esoteric language in titles • Choose the right title to ensure citation in the future. • Big name journals require a significant accomplishment - and data presented in a convincing and often striking manner (plan experiments accordingly). EMPHASIZE SIGNIFICANCE, IMPACT, SIGNIFICANCE!!!
