Physica Scripta

Aims & Scope

Physica Scripta is an international journal for original research in any branch of experimental and theoretical physics.

Articles will be considered in any of the following topics, and interdisciplinary topics involving physics are also welcomed: -Atomic, molecular and optical physics- Plasma physics- Condensed matter physics- Mathematical physics- Astrophysics- High energy physics- Nuclear physics- Nonlinear physics.

The journal aims to increase the visibility and accessibility of research to the wider physical sciences community.

Articles on topics of broad interest are encouraged and submissions in more specialist fields should endeavour to include reference to the wider context of their research in the introduction.
