About the Journal

Focus and Coverage

Journal of Applied Physics is an influential international journal publishing significant new experimental and theoretical results of applied physics research. The journal also publishes special collections focusing on research of particular current or emerging interest. A key component of this journal is Applied Physics Reviews—these articles vary in scope and length from relatively short but authoritative state-of-the-art summaries to comprehensive, critical, monograph-length reviews.

Topics covered in Journal of Applied Physics are diverse and reflect the most current applied physics research, including:

Applied Biophysics
Dielectrics and Ferroelectricity
Device Physics
Electronic Structure and Transport
Interdisciplinary and General Physics
Lasers, Optics, and Optoelectronics
Magnetism and Superconductivity
Nanoscale Science and Design
Plasmas and Electrical Discharges

Structural, Mechanical, Thermodynamic, and Optical Properties of Condensed Matter
