Topological insulators and superconductors: tenfold way and dimensional hierarchy

Shinsei Ryu, Andreas P. Schnyder, Akira Furusaki et al. · 17 Jun 2010

It has recently been shown that in every spatial dimension there exist precisely five distinct classes of topological insulators or superconductors. Within a given class, the different topological sectors can be distinguished, depending on the case, by a Z or a Z_2 topological invariant. This is an exhaustive classification. Here we construct representatives of topological…

The theory of variational hybrid quantum-classical algorithms

Jarrod R. McClean, Jonathan Romero, Ryan Babbush et al. · 4 Feb 2016

Many quantum algorithms have daunting resource requirements when compared to what is available today. To address this discrepancy, a quantum-classical hybrid optimization scheme known as 'the quantum variational eigensolver' was developed (Peruzzo et al 2014 Nat. Commun. 5 4213) with the philosophy that even minimal quantum resources could be made useful when used in conjunction…

Detecting the overlapping and hierarchical community structure in complex networks

Andrea Lancichinetti, Santo Fortunato, János Kertész · 10 Mar 2009

Abstract. Many networks in nature, society and technology are characterized by a mesoscopic level of organization, with groups of nodes forming tightly connected units, called communities or modules, that are only weakly linked to each other. Uncovering this community structure is one of the most important problems in the field of complex networks. Networks often…

Germanene: a novel two-dimensional germanium allotrope akin to graphene and silicene

M. E. Dávila, Lede Xian, Seymur Cahangirov et al. · 9 Sep 2014

We have grown an atom-thin, ordered, two-dimensional multi-phase film in situ through germanium molecular beam epitaxy using a gold (111) surface as a substrate. Its growth is similar to the formation of silicene layers on silver (111) templates. One of the phases, forming large domains, as observed in scanning tunneling microscopy, shows a clear, nearly…

New Journal of Physics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the New Journal of Physics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the New 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 New Journal of Physics use?
New 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 New Journal of Physics 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to New 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 New 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 New Journal of Physics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the New Journal of Physics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is New Journal of Physics?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready New Journal of Physics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official New 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 New Journal of Physics template cost?
You can start writing in the New Journal of Physics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready New Journal of Physics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
