Optical and Quantum Electronics provides an international forum for the publication of original research papers, tutorial reviews and letters in such fields as optical physics, optical engineering and optoelectronics. The journal publishes papers on the following topics: semiconductors, solid state and gas lasers, optical communication systems, fibres and planar waveguides, non-linear optics, optoelectronic devices, ultra-fast phenomena, optical storage, optical materials, photonic switching, optics in computers and coherent optics. Special issues are published on topics of current interest.

Optics Communications considers only original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of modern optics. Manuscripts may discuss fundamental or applied issues, and should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers devoted, for the most part, to mathematical and computational issues, with limited direct connection to current trends of optics research, are generally not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science may not be considered favourably.The Fast Track section of Optics Communications is the venue for very rapid publication of short communications on significant developments in the various fields of modern optics. The goal is to offer the broad modern optics community quick and immediate access to recently completed work in research areas that are rapidly developing and in which there are developments with great potential impact.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Particuology, an international bimonthly journal, is jointly sponsored by the Chinese Society of Particuology and the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is published by Elsevier B. V. and Science Press.The word Particuology was coined to parallel the technical terminology for the science and technology of particles by combining the Latin prefix particula for particles and the Greek suffix logia denoting subject of study. Particuology is built upon all related branches of the physical sciences (especially physics and chemistry) and mathematics, and connects their fundamental laws to engineering particle systems, spanning a wide range of chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, functional materials, and human activities dealing with energy and the environment.This Journal purports to present the best papers in research, engineering and application in the overall field of Particuology, ranging from the molecular level to the system level, including:Particle characterization and measurement;Particle preparation, synthesis and modification;Granular system and bulk solids technology;Fluidization and particle-fluid system;Aerosol;Applications of particle technology.The editors particularly welcome contributions on newly emerging topics that fall within the broad scope of Particuology.
