Atsushi Togo, Fumiyasu Oba, Isao Tanaka · 14 Oct 2008

The tetragonal to orthorhombic ferroelastic phase transition between rutile- and ${\text{CaCl}}_{2}$-type ${\text{SiO}}_{2}$ at high pressures is studied using first-principles calculations and the Landau free-energy expansion. The phase transition is systematically investigated in terms of characteristic phonon modes with ${\text{B}}_{1g}$ and ${\text{A}}_{g}$ symmetries, shear moduli, transverse-acoustic mode, rotation angle of the ${\text{SiO}}_{6}$ octahedra, spontaneous symmetry-breaking and…

Necessary and sufficient elastic stability conditions in various crystal systems

Félix Mouhat, François‐Xavier Coudert · 5 Dec 2014

While the Born elastic stability criteria are well known for cubic crystals, there is some confusion in the literature about the form they should take for lower-symmetry crystal classes. Here we present closed form necessary and sufficient conditions for elastic stability in all crystal classes, as a concise and pedagogical reference to stability criteria in…

Topological semimetal and Fermi-arc surface states in the electronic structure of pyrochlore iridates

Xiangang Wan, Ari M. Turner, Ashvin Vishwanath et al. · 2 May 2011

We investigate novel phases that emerge from the interplay of electron correlations and strong spin-orbit interactions. We focus on describing the topological semimetal, a three-dimensional phase of a magnetic solid, and argue that it may be realized in a class of pyrochlore iridates (such as ${\mathrm{Y}}_{2}$Ir${}_{2}$O${}_{7}$) based on calculations using the $\text{LDA}+U$ method. This state…

Van der Waals density functionals applied to solids

Jiří Klimeš, David R. Bowler, Angelos Michaelides · 25 May 2011

The van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) of M. Dion et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)] is a promising approach for including dispersion in approximate density functional theory exchange-correlation functionals. Indeed, an improved description of systems held by dispersion forces has been demonstrated in the literature. However, despite many applications, standard general tests…

Topological insulators with inversion symmetry

Liang Fu, C. L. Kane · 2 Jul 2007

Topological insulators are materials with a bulk excitation gap generated by the spin-orbit interaction that are different from conventional insulators. This distinction is characterized by ${Z}_{2}$ topological invariants, which characterize the ground state. In two dimensions, there is a single ${Z}_{2}$ invariant that distinguishes the ordinary insulator from the quantum spin-Hall phase. In three dimensions,…

Physical Review B template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Physical Review B format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Physical Review B template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Physical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Physical Review B use?
Physical Review B uses Numbered (APS) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, Physical Review B 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Physical Review B?
No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Physical Society-ready Physical Review B document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Physical Review B template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Physical Review B format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Physical Review B?
APS Physical Review B. It is a physics journal, published by American Physical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Physical Review B PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Physical Review B template (the revtex4-2 class) that is ready to submit to American Physical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Physical Review B template cost?
You can start writing in the Physical Review B template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Physical Review B PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
