Journals

The physica status solidi (pss) journal group is devoted to the thorough peer review and the rapid publication of new and important results in all fields of solid state and materials physics, from basic science to applications and devices. Among the largest and most established international publications, the pss journals publish reviews, letters and original articles, as regular content as well as in special issues and topical sections.

physica status solidi (a) – applications and materials science covers modern solid-state physics and physical materials science with an emphasis on materials and device applications. This encompasses the preparation, analysis and description of solid, advanced material systems, nanostructures, films, surfaces and interfaces with respect to electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, structural and morphological properties, as well as device design and characteristics. Current topics include semiconductor electronics and optoelectronics, organic electronics, photovoltaics, sensors, thermoelectrics, non-volatile memory, resistive switching, spintronics, dielectrics, ferroics and superconductors.

physica status solidi (a) – applications and materials science is a sister journal of the pss flagship physica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, which employs priority editorial handling to offer cutting-edge research publication at record speed, and of physica status solidi (b) – basic solid state physics.
