Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published in English.

[1] The journal was founded in 1877 under the title Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie by crystallographer and mineralogist Paul Heinrich von Groth, who served as the editor for 44 years.

[1][4] The journal was established in 1877 by Paul von Groth as a German-language publication under the title Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie, and he served as its editor until the end of 1920.

Topics covered include the analysis of complex materials using pair distribution function methods,[11][12] borates[13] (double issue),[14][15] hydrogen storage,[16][17] in situ crystallisation,[18][19] mathematical crystallography,[20][21] mineral structures,[22][23] nanocrystallography,[24][25] phononic crystals,[26][27] photocrystallography,[28][29] the application of precession electron diffraction[30][31] methods,[32] twinned crystals,[33][34] and zeolites[35] (double issue).

[36][37] On four occasions, one or two issues of the journal have been dedicated to the memory of a crystallographer or mineralogist, usually with a theme associated with the individual's work and a description of their contribution to the field.
