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
