Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations of Crystallography publishes articles reporting fundamental advances in all areas of crystallography in the broadest sense. This includes metacrystals such as photonic or phononic crystals, i.e. structures on the meso- or macroscale that can be studied with crystallographic methods.

The central themes are, on the one hand, experimental and theoretical studies of the properties and arrangements of atoms, ions and molecules in condensed matter, periodic, quasiperiodic or amorphous, ideal or real, and, on the other, the theoretical and experimental aspects of the various methods to determine these properties and arrangements. In the case of metacrystals, the focus is on the methods for their creation and on the structure-property relationships for their interaction with classical waves.
