Collections
Subject Focus: Chemical Physics
The Physical Review Journals want to be a home for chemists. It is our aim to publish work on electrochemistry and energy science (batteries, supercapacitors, and photocatalysis), nanoparticles and nanotechnology, metrology for analytical chemistry, and quantum information science for computational chemistry.
Emmanuel Rashba: Breaking New Ground in Solid-State Exploration
Physical Review B is pleased to present the “Collection in Honor of Emmanuel I. Rashba and His Fundamental Contributions to Solid-State Physics” in the year of his 95th birthday, highlighting the many ways in which his work has changed the landscape of modern condensed matter physics. Papers belonging to this collection will be published through mid-2023. The contributed articles, and an editorial by Guest Editors Mark Dykman, Alexander Efros, Bertrand Halperin, Leonid Levitov, and Charles Marcus, are linked below.
Physical Review B 50th Anniversary Milestones
These Milestone studies represent lasting contributions to physics by way of reporting significant discoveries, initiating new areas of research, or substantially enhancing the conceptual tools for making progress in the burgeoning field of condensed matter physics.
Heating up of Superconductors
This collection marks the 30th anniversary of the discovery of high-temperature superconductors. The papers selected highlight some of the advances that have been made to date, both in understanding why these compounds behave in the way they do, and in utilizing them in applications.
Scanning Probe Microscopy: From Sublime to Ubiquitous
This collection marks the 35th anniversary of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and the 30th anniversary of atomic force microscopy (AFM). These papers, all published in the Physical Review journals, highlight the positive impact that STM and AFM have had, and continue to have, on physical science research. The papers included in the collection have been made free to read.
