Description:
Solid State Communications is an international medium for the publication of short communications on significant developments
in
condensed matter science, giving scientists immediate access to important, recently completed work. The journal publishes original
experimental and theoretical research on the physical and chemical properties of
solids and other
condensed systems and
also on their preparation. The
submission of manuscripts reporting research
on the basic
physics of
materials science and devices, as well as of state-of-the-art
microstructures and
nanostructures,
is encouraged.
A coherent quantitative treatment emphasizing new physics is expected rather than a simple accumulation of experimental
data. Consistent with these aims, the submitted manuscripts should be kept concise and short, usually not longer than four printed pages.
The number of figures and tables should also be kept to a minimum. Instructions for the preparation of manuscripts appear in the first
issue of each volume.
Solid State Communications will also publish important initial results of ongoing research which should
be referred to in more extensive papers being submitted elsewhere at a later date.
It is strongly recommended that authors submit
their manuscripts either to a local (or nearby)
Editor
or to one who is an expert in their field of endeavour.
The
Fast-Track section of
Solid State communications is
the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in condensed matter science. The goal is to
offer the broad condensed matter community quick and immediate access to publish recently completed papers in research areas that are
rapidly evolving and in which there are developments with great potential impact.
