Most-cited papers in Reviews of Modern Physics

The electronic properties of graphene

A. H. Castro Neto, F. Guinea, N. M. R. Peres et al. · 14 Jan 2009

This article reviews the basic theoretical aspects of graphene, a one-atom-thick allotrope of carbon, with unusual two-dimensional Dirac-like electronic excitations. The Dirac electrons can be controlled by application of external electric and magnetic fields, or by altering sample geometry and/or topology. The Dirac electrons behave in unusual ways in tunneling, confinement, and the integer quantum…

Statistical mechanics of complex networks

Réka Albert, Albert-Ĺaszló Barabási · 30 Jan 2002

Complex networks describe a wide range of systems in nature and society. Frequently cited examples include the cell, a network of chemicals linked by chemical reactions, and the Internet, a network of routers and computers connected by physical links. While traditionally these systems have been modeled as random graphs, it is increasingly recognized that the…

<i>Colloquium</i>: Topological insulators

M. Zahid Hasan, C. L. Kane · 8 Nov 2010

Topological insulators are electronic materials that have a bulk band gap like an ordinary insulator but have protected conducting states on their edge or surface. These states are possible due to the combination of spin-orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry. The two-dimensional (2D) topological insulator is a quantum spin Hall insulator, which is a close cousin…

Topological insulators and superconductors

Xiao-Liang Qi, Shou-Cheng Zhang · 14 Oct 2011

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full insulating gap in the bulk and gapless edge or surface states which are protected by time-reversal symmetry. These topological materials have been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed in a variety of…

Spintronics: Fundamentals and applications

Igor Žutić, Jaroslav Fabian, S. Das Sarma · 23 Apr 2004

Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this subject, including both recent advances and well-established results. The primary focus is on the basic physical principles underlying the generation of carrier spin polarization, spin dynamics, and…

Reviews of Modern Physics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Reviews of Modern Physics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Reviews of Modern Physics 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 Reviews of Modern Physics use?
Reviews of Modern Physics uses Numbered (APS Rev. Mod. Phys.) 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, Reviews of Modern Physics 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Reviews of Modern Physics?
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 Reviews of Modern Physics 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 Reviews of Modern Physics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Reviews of Modern Physics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Reviews of Modern Physics?
APS Reviews of Modern Physics (author-year REVTeX). It is a physics journal, published by American Physical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Reviews of Modern Physics PDF?
