Applied Physics Letters

期刊简介：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.In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.

【译文】《应用物理快报》（APL）展示了应用物理领域的重要新发现。强调快速传播关键数据和新的物理见解，APL 提供了关于将物理现象应用于科学、工程和现代技术所有分支的新实验和理论论文的快速发表。除了常规文章外，该期刊还发表邀请的快速通道、观点和深入评论文章，这些文章报告了应用物理领域的尖端领域。APL 观点是一封前瞻性的邀请信，强调最近的发展或发现。重点放在非常新的发展、可能颠覆性技术、开放问题和可能的解决方案上。它们还包括一个详细的路线图，说明社区应将努力方向定位在哪里，以便现象能够适用于应用，以及与达到性能阈值相关的挑战。观点以个人观点和领域公认的专家的观点和意见为特征。快速通道文章是邀请的原研究文章，报告特别新颖和重要的结果或为新兴领域提供重大进步。由于工作的紧迫性和科学重要性，同行评审过程被加速。如果在评审过程中，明显看出该论文不符合快速通道标准，则将其退回正常轨道。
