The journal includes papers in the following areas:
Simple organic liquids and mixtures
Ionic liquids
Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
Ferrofluids
Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
Molten metals and salts
Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
Self assembly in complex liquids. – Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time-resolved spectroscopy
