Most-cited papers in Communications Physics

20 years of developments in optical frequency comb technology and applications

Tara Fortier, Esther Baumann · 6 Dec 2019

Abstract Optical frequency combs were developed nearly two decades ago to support the world’s most precise atomic clocks. Acting as precision optical synthesizers, frequency combs enable the precise transfer of phase and frequency information from a high-stability reference to hundreds of thousands of tones in the optical domain. This versatility, coupled with near-continuous spectroscopic coverage…

Topolectrical Circuits

Ching Hua Lee, Stefan Imhof, Christian Berger et al. · 17 Jul 2018

Abstract Invented by Alessandro Volta and Félix Savary in the early 19th century, circuits consisting of resistor, inductor and capacitor (RLC) components are omnipresent in modern technology. The behavior of an RLC circuit is governed by its circuit Laplacian, which is analogous to the Hamiltonian describing the energetics of a physical system. Here we show…

Tutorial: a beginner’s guide to interpreting magnetic susceptibility data with the Curie-Weiss law

Sam Mugiraneza, Alannah M. Hallas · 19 Apr 2022

Abstract Magnetic susceptibility measurements are often the first characterization tool that researchers turn to when beginning to assess the magnetic nature of a newly discovered material. Breakthroughs in instrumentation have made the collection of high quality magnetic susceptibility data more accessible than ever before. However, the analysis of susceptibility data remains a common challenge for…

A theory on skyrmion size

X. S. Wang, H. Y. Yuan, X. R. Wang · 28 Jun 2018

Abstract A magnetic skyrmion is a topological object consisting of a skyrmion core, an outer domain, and a wall that separates the skyrmion core from the outer domain. The skyrmion size and wall width are two fundamental quantities of a skyrmion that depend sensitively on material parameters such as exchange energy, magnetic anisotropy, Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction,…

Topological sound

Xiujuan Zhang, Meng Xiao, Ying Cheng et al. · 18 Dec 2018

Abstract Recently, we witnessed a tremendous effort to conquer the realm of acoustics as a possible playground to test with topologically protected sound wave propagation. In this article, we review the latest efforts to explore with sound waves topological states of quantum matter in two- and three-dimensional systems where we discuss how spin and valley…

Communications Physics template — frequently asked questions

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