Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science
An official journal of the Korean Physical Society

Current Applied Physics (Curr. Appl. Phys.) is a monthly published international interdisciplinary journal covering all applied science in physics, chemistry, and materials science, with their fundamental and engineering aspects.

Topics covered in the journal are diverse and reflect the most current applied research, including:

• Spintronics and superconductivity
• Photonics, optoelectronics, and spectroscopy
• Semiconductor device physics
• Physics and applications of nanoscale materials
• Plasma physics and technology
• Advanced materials physics and engineering
• Dielectrics, functional oxides, and multiferroics
• Organic electronics and photonics
• Energy-related materials and devices
• Advanced optics and optical engineering
• Biophysics and bioengineering, including soft matters and fluids
• Emerging, interdisciplinary and others related to applied physics
• Regular research papers, letters and review articles with contents meeting the scope of the journal will be considered for publication after peer review.

The journal is owned by the Korean Physical Society (http://www.kps.or.kr )
