Nuclear Analysis is an open access journal that reports on scientific and technological advances in the field. Nuclear analyses use physical or chemical means to explore microstructures, system states or dynamic characteristics from information carried by particles, such as neutrons, photons, charged particles and radionuclides.The aim of the journal is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and discussions on these topics. We welcome reviews and regular research papers featuring novel studies on relevant science methods, technologies and applications. The journal scope includes:Neutron analysisRadiochemical analysisNuclear process analysisNuclear safety analysisEditorial Board
Physica B: Condensed Matter comprises all condensed matter physics, including theoretical, computational, and experimental research.
These contributions must be accompanied by a thorough discussion of relevant phenomena in condensed matter and materials physics.
The journal is welcoming submissions exploring the following areas:
• Ordered phenomena: magnetism, ferroelectricity and multiferroics; charge and orbital orderings; spin waves; superconductivity and superfluidity; nematic phases; other ordered phases in condensed matter
• Disordered phenomena: amorphous materials and glasses; spin glasses and random field systems; Anderson localization; other disordered phases in condensed matter
• Optics: nonlinear optical and Kerr effects; photoluminescence; other optical effects in condensed matter
• Strongly correlated systems: heavy fermions; Mott insulators; Hubbard model systems; perovskites, ruthenates; superconductors; transition metal dichalcogenides; and other systems and materials with strong electron correlations
• Materials physics: exploration of materials’ properties, such as electrical conductivity, optical, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic properties beyond simple characterization, underlying the material behavior. Metals, oxides, metal-organics, polymers, ceramics, semiconductors, alloys, high entropy alloys, composites, and related materials
• Nanostructures and nanomaterials: theoretical and experimental exploration of nanoscale systems, including nanoparticles; nanotubes; nanowires; quantum dots, wires, wells; thin films, and other related nanomaterials
• Quantum materials: quantum Hall effect, spintronics, topological insulators, spin-liquid, spin-orbit coupling materials; other materials ruled by quantum mechanical effects
• Surfaces and interfaces: theoretical and experimental analyses of surface structure, surface chemistry, and interfaces in materials; applications
• Computational materials: exploration of simulation methods (including molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, and density functional theory) and modeling techniques (such as first-principles calculations, tight-binding models, and uses of machine learning) to understand materials properties or workflow developments in materials design. Investigation of materials design strategies, like high-throughput screening and other computational tools, tailored for condensed matter research
