We are pleased to announce the first “Crystals Best Paper Award” for 2015.This year, nominations were made by the Editorial Office of Crystals based on citation counts among all the original research articles published in 2014 and 2013. The following three papers were chosen by the Prize Awarding Committee:Best Paper Award1st PrizePeter Politzer, Jane S. Murray, Goran V. Janjić and Snežana D. Zarićσ-Hole Hole Interactions of Covalently-Bonded Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Arsenic: A Survey of Crystal StructuresCrystals 2014, 4(1), 12–31; doi:10.3390/cryst4010012Available online: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4352/4/1/12 “A fundamental work on noncovalent directional interactions”––Dr. Gerhard Laus“This article will have the largest long-time impact, not only for solid state research but in all fields of chemistry.”––Prof. Dr. Gerd Meyer2nd PrizeValentina F. DegtyarevaElectronic Origin of the Orthorhombic Cmca Structure in Compressed Elements and Binary AlloysCrystals 2013, 3(3), 419–430; doi:10.3390/cryst3030419Available online: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4352/3/3/419 “This paper explains the commonly observed crystal structure in representative metals under high pressure from electronic origin. The focus is just on this journal.”––Prof. Dr. Hideo Hosono“Interesting analysis of pressure-dependent structural transformations.”––Dr. Gerhard Laus3rd PrizeIgor Shishkovsky, Floran Missemer, Nina Kakovkina and Igor SmurovIntermetallics Synthesis in the Fe–Al System via Layer by Layer 3D Laser CladdingCrystals 2013, 3(4), 517–529; doi:10.3390/cryst3040517Available online: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4352/3/4/517 “This paper demonstrates the generation of a functional gradient of intermetallic FexAly structures by 3D laser cladding. The control of hardness in a multi-layer structure is a very interesting finding and has good industrial application potential.”––Prof. Dr. Helmut CölfenThese three outstanding papers are valuable contributions to Crystals. On behalf of the Prize Awarding Committee and the Editorial Board, we would like to congratulate these three teams for their excellent work. In recognition of their accomplishment, Dr. Peter Politzer, Dr. Valentina F. Degtyareva, and Dr. Igor Shishkovsky will receive the privilege to publish an additional paper free of charge in open access format in Crystals after the usual peer-review procedure.Prize Awarding CommitteeEditor-in-ChiefProf. Dr. Helmut CölfenPhysical Chemistry, Universität Konstanz, Universitätsstraße 10, Box 714, D-78457 Konstanz, GermanyE-Mail: [email protected]Former Editor-in-ChiefProf. Dr. Gerd MeyerInstitut für Anorganische Chemie, Universität zu Köln, Greinstraße 6, D-50939 Köln, GermanyE-Mail: [email protected]Editorial Board MemberProf. Dr. Hideo HosonoFrontier Research Center & Materials and Structures Laboratory, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yokohama 226-8503, JapanE-Mail: [email protected]Editorial Board MemberDr. Gerhard LausCenter for Chemistry and Biomedicine, University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, AustriaE-Mail: [email protected] © 2015 by the author; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
