Journal Guide

Laser Physics offers a comprehensive view of theoretical and experimental laser research and applications. Articles cover every aspect of modern laser physics and quantum electronics, emphasizing physical effects in various media (solid, gaseous, liquid) leading to the generation of laser radiation; peculiarities of propagation of laser radiation; problems involving impact of laser radiation on various substances and the emerging physical effects, including coherent ones; the applied use of lasers and laser spectroscopy; the processing and storage of information; and more.

Laser Physics Letters encompasses all aspects of laser physics sciences including, inter alia, spectroscopy, quantum electronics, quantum optics, quantum electrodynamics, nonlinear optics, atom optics, quantum computation, quantum information processing and storage, fiber optics and their applications in chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine.

Laser & Photonics Reviews is an international journal which covers the current range of laser physics and photonics, both theoretical and experimental, from recent research to specific developments and novel applications. Every issue contains invited review articles and topical reports.

Lasers in Engineering publishes research articles, reviews, short communications and letters on all aspects relating to the applications of lasers in the many different branches of engineering and related disciplines. The journal covers the use of lasers in sensors or measuring and mapping devices, as integral 1 parts of production assemblies, within the fields of biotechnology and bioenginerring, in micro- and nano-fabrication, as well as materials aspects of processes such as welding, cutting, drilling, cladding and surface treatment. The journal presents a balanced account of future developments, fundamental aspects, e.g. solidification or modelling and industrial innovations. Modern technology has a vitally important role to play in meeting the increasingly stringent demands made on material and production systems. The journal provides a readily accessible medium for the rapid reporting of advances in these technologies.

Liquid Crystals publishes accounts of original research concerned with all aspects of liquid crystal science and technology, including experimental and theoretical studies ranging from molecular design and synthesis to applications engineering. The journal focus is on liquid crystalline supermolecular organization and self-assembly in a wide range of materials, including thermotropic, lyotropic, interfacial, chiral, ferroelectric, polymer, micro/nanocomposite, biological and related soft-matter liquid crystal systems. Liquid Crystals provides the scientific community, in both academia and industry, with a publication of standing, guaranteed by the Editors and by the International Editorial Board who are active scientists in the worldwide liquid crystal community. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.

Lubricants (ISSN 2075-4442) publishes regular research papers, reviews, letters and communications covering all aspects of tribology, including the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish experimental, theoretical and computational results that provide new insight and understanding into the scientific and technical basis for lubrication and related phenomenon. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, three unique features of this Journal: Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas are welcome; Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material; Manuscripts concerning summaries and surveys on research cooperation and projects (that are founded by national governments) to give information for a broad field of users.

The Journal is designed to meet the information requirements of lubricant professionals whose primary concern is the design, formulation, and performance of lubricants and their additives in tribological systems, whichever field of interest - commercial, government, academic, or pure research - they may be involved with.The Journal is an international, refereed journal which aims to publish high-quality research papers, reviews, short communications and letters to the Editor, devoted to all aspects of lubricants and their additives, including synthetic and biodegradable lubricants. The scope includes reporting on the synthesis and/or development of lubricants, their test results compared to results for other lubricants and comparative performance test results in components or equipment.The papers on synthetic lubricants focused on synthetic or biodegradable lubricants and not merely a synthetic additive in a non-synthetic base oil, will be published in the section “Synthetic Lubrication”.TriboTest is a section within the journal which aims to publish high quality papers devoted to all aspects of advancing tribological testing. Reporting of improved techniques for testing, test results evaluation and modelling and simulation techniques that support tribotesting are encouraged. Critical assessments of the effects of test environment, test rig dynamics, accelerated test parameters, and similar, are also of great value.The tribological tests may range from full scale field testing down to lab testing in the nano-scale with objectives ranging from investigating the whole tribological system, down to investigating the influence of a surface treatment, a coating, or the performance of a lubricant additive in the tribological contact. Test evaluation techniques may include microscopy, topographical evaluation, and chemical analysis. This section invites papers on comparative studies of laboratory tests and field tests with respect to mechanisms, performance and ranking, lab test procedures capable of minimising the dependence on full scale field testing, test procedures capable of generating new fundamental understanding of friction and wear processes, at the nano, macro and micro scales, the design, selection and critical evaluation of tribological tests, diagnostic methods and condition monitoring measurement and characterisation of lubrication films, tribofilms and third bodies.
