Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
Magnonics, as an emergent interdisciplinary field, covers at least four disciplines: condensed matter physics, optics, spintronics, and microelectronics, where the quasiparticles of spin waves, i.e., magnons, serve as the information…
Interest in high-entropy materials continues its upward trajectory, with broad cross-discipline interest from physics, materials science, chemistry, and engineering. From compositionally complex to high-entropy alloys and ceramics, the breadth of…
The Special Topic issue will highlight recent developments in the experimental and theoretical physics of topological and chiral materials, emphasizing their possible practical applications. Topology – a mathematical concept –…
Especially in the most recent decade, thermal management in semiconductors and thermoelectrics have attracted attention as important technologies to support the realization of carbon neutrality. A deep understanding of the…
Since the discovery of the Josephson effect in 1962, new science and new applications regularly emerge due to quantum coherence between two superconductors separated by a non-superconducting weak link. Even…
With the 2019 revision of the international system of units, quantum metrology has become the foundation of all physical measurements. Now, the seven SI base units are defined by fixed…
The rapid advancement in photonic devices laid bare that no single photonic material technology can address the needs of all applications that desire a compact photonic solution. Integrating different material…
