applied research

The aim of physica status solidi is the rapid publication of important and new results in the field of solid state physics, both in fundamental and applied research. pss (a) - applied research covers materials science and applications including growth and preparation techniques, solid-state diagnostics and other methodical aspects, solid-state phase transitions, device-related phenomena etc.
The journal publishes Review and Feature Articles, Rapid Research Notes, Original Papers, and Special Issues. Rapid Research Notes are available online just two weeks after submission. Original papers are classified into the following thematic categories: structure and lattice properties; surfaces, interfaces, thin films; nonelectronic transport; electronic states, low-dimensional systems; electronic transport, superconductivity; magnetic properties, magnetic resonances; dielectric and optical properties; device-related phenomena.
