Most-cited papers in European Journal of Physics

Principles of Condensed Matter Physics

C. C. Matthai · 1 Mar 2000

Although there are many books on solid state physics and condensed matter, I suspect very few cover the same content as that found in {\it Principles of Condensed Matter Physics} by Chaikin and Lubensky. The title is rather misleading as it suggests a survey of the important concepts in condensed matter. In spite of this…

Laser cooling and trapping

Stig Stenholm · 1 Oct 1988

The basic physical effects leading to radiation-induced forces are reviewed. A simple derivation of the mathematical expressions for the classical light forces is given. The influence of quantum fluctuations is demonstrated and the possibilities for trapping neutral particles are discussed. Two recent successful laser cooling and trapping experiments are described to illustrate the applications of…

The elusive memristor: properties of basic electrical circuits

Yogesh N Joglekar, Stephen J Wolf · 5 May 2009

We present a tutorial on the properties of the new ideal circuit element, a memristor. By definition, a memristor M relates the charge q and the magnetic flux $\phi$ in a circuit, and complements a resistor R, a capacitor C, and an inductor L as an ingredient of ideal electrical circuits. The properties of these…

Constructing Quarks: A Sociological History of Particle Physics

R. J. Barlow · 1 Mar 2000

The title is a challenge. This is an account of the development of the standard model of particle physics, written not by a physicist but by a historian. This is certainly a suitable topic for a historian to analyse, and one might anticipate a refreshingly different account from an outsider sitting above the fray. This…

Of flying frogs and levitrons

Michael Berry, A. K. Geim · 1 Jul 1997

Diamagnetic objects are repelled by magnetic fields. If the fields are strong enough, this repulsion can balance gravity, and objects levitated in this way can be held in stable equilibrium, apparently violating Earnshaw's theorem. In fact Earnshaw's theorem does not apply to induced magnetism, and it is possible for the total energy (gravitational + magnetic)…

European Journal of Physics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the European Journal of Physics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the European Journal of Physics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does European Journal of Physics use?
European Journal of Physics uses Numbered (IOP) 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] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title European Journal of Physics 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to European Journal of Physics?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready European Journal of 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 European Journal of Physics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the European Journal of Physics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is European Journal of Physics?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready European Journal of Physics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official European Journal of Physics template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the European Journal of Physics template cost?
You can start writing in the European Journal of Physics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready European Journal of Physics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
