Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.

The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.

OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:

• Optical Properties of Material Systems;

• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;

• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.

Optics and Lasers in Engineering aims to provide an international forum for the interchange of information on the development and application of optical techniques and laser technology in engineering.

Organic Electronics
Materials, Physics, Chemistry and Applications

Organic Electronics is a journal whose primary interdisciplinary focus is on materials and phenomena related to organic devices such as light emitting diodes, thin film transistors, photovoltaic cells, sensors, memories, etc.

Papers suitable for publication in this journal cover such topics as photoconductive and electronic properties of organic materials, thin film structures and characterization in the context of organic devices, charge and exciton transport, organic electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Organic Electronics provides the forum for applied, fundamental and interdisciplinary contributions spanning the wide range of electronic properties and applications of organic materials. A Letters section is included for rapid publication of short articles announcing significant and highly original results.

The scope of Physica B comprises all condensed matter physics, including both experimental and theoretical work. Papers should contain a new experimental, calculated, or theoretical result of which the physics is properly discussed.
The requirement of the presence of some new condensed matter physics means that typical materials science papers which, for instance, mainly concern a new more efficient or cheaper preparation method of a material or the optimization of an already known physical property of a material with the aim of application, fall outside the scope of Physica B.
