Original material: Submission of a manuscript implies that it is not being simultaneously considered for publication elsewhere and that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication.

Types of contributions: Original research papers and letters to the editor are welcomed. Both should contain an Abstract (of up to 200 words) and a Conclusions section, which, particularly in the case of theoretical papers, translates the results into terms readily accessible to most readers.

Manuscript preparation: All manuscripts should be written in proper English. The paper copies of the text should be prepared with double line spacing and wide margins, on numbered sheets.

Structure: Please adhere to the following order of presentation: Article title, Author(s), Affiliation(s), Abstract, PACS codes and keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendices, References, Figure captions, Tables.

Corresponding author: The name, complete postal address, telephone and fax numbers and the E-mail address of the corresponding author should be given on the first page of the manuscript.

PACS codes / keywords: Please supply one or more relevant PACS-2006 classification codes and 3-4 keywords of your own choice for indexing purposes.

References: References to other work should be consecutively numbered in the text using square brackets and listed by number in the Reference list.

Illustrations: For online submissions, electronic graphics are mandatory. Online instructions can be found at: External link http://ees.elsevier.com/physe and artwork instructions are at External link http://www.elsevier.com/authorartwork.

If you are not submitting online illustrations should also be submitted in triplicate: one master set and two sets of copies. The line drawings in the master set should be original laser printer/plotter output or drawn in black india ink, with careful lettering, large enough (3-5 mm) to remain legible after reduction for printing. The photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required in the printed version. They should be unmounted unless part of a composite figure. Any scale markers should be inserted on the photograph itself, and not drawn below it.

Colour plates: Figures may be published in colour, if this is judged essential by the editor. The publisher and the author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. Further information is available from the publisher.

After acceptance:

Notification: You will be notified by the Editor of the journal of the acceptance of your article. Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided after registration of an article for publication.

Copyright transfer: In the course of the production process you will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.

Electronic manuscripts: The publisher welcomes the receipt of an electronic version of your accepted manuscript. If there is not already a copy of this (on diskette) with the journal Editor at the time the manuscript is being refereed, you are invited to send a file with the text of the accepted manuscript directly to the Publisher on diskette to the address given below. Please note that no deviations from the version accepted by the Editor of the journal are permissible without the prior and explicit approval of the Editor. Such changes should be clearly indicated on an accompanying printout of the file.

Author benefits:

No page charges: Publishing in Physica E is free of charge.

Reprints:The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail or, alternatively, 25 free paper offprints. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use. An offprint order form will be supplied by the Publisher for ordering any additional paid offprints.
Authors wishing to order additional paid reprints should indicate the number of reprints required when returning proofs.

Discount: Contributors to Elsevier journals are entitled to a 30% discount on all Elsevier books.
