The Editors of Philosophical Magazine consider for publication contributions describing original experimental and theoretical results, computational simulations and concepts relating to the structure and properties of condensed matter. The submission of papers on novel measurements, phases, phenomena, and new types of material is encouraged.
Part A (Materials Science) carries papers where, in general, the phenomena and interpretation are on a microscopic or atomic scale, for example physical, mechanical and defect-related properties studied by techniques such as electron microscopy, indentation, differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy.
Part B (Condensed Matter Physics) carries papers where, in general, the phenomena and interpretation are on an electronic scale, for example optical and electrical properties studied by techniques such as electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, nuclear magnetic resonance and photoemission spectroscopy.
The above division is not binding and papers on quantum-related phenomena, even if on the atomic scale, are more likely to be classed as 'physics' and be published in Part B, whereas papers reporting optical measurements to characterize the behaviour of, say, glassy alloys as a function of composition will be considered as ‘materials science’ and appear in Part A.
Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of Philosophical Magazine and publishes short and timely contributions in the same fields.
Manuscripts are considered on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Philosophical Magazine , that they have not been published already, and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Contributions to Philosophical Magazine must report original research and will be subjected to review by referees at the discretion of the Editors.
By submitting a manuscript to Philosophical Magazine authors are agreeing that CrossCheck software may be used to screen their work for unoriginal material.
All peer review is single blind, and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
