Aims & Scope

High Energy Chemistry publishes original articles, reviews, and short communications on molecular and supramolecular photochemistry, photobiology, radiation chemistry, plasma chemistry, chemistry of nanosized systems, chemistry of new atoms, processes and materials for optical information systems and other areas of high energy chemistry. It publishes theoretical and experimental studies in all areas of high energy chemistry, such as the interaction of high-energy particles with matter, the nature and reactivity of short-lived species induced by the action of particle and electromagnetic radiation or hot atoms on substances in their gaseous and condensed states, and chemical processes initiated in organic and inorganic systems by high-energy radiation.
