Applied Physics Letters

Journal Title：Applied Physics Letters

Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.

In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.

APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.

Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.

《应用物理快报》（APL）刊登了简明、最新的应用物理学重大新发现报告。APL 强调快速传播关键数据和新的物理见解，及时发表新的实验和理论论文，报告物理现象在科学、工程和现代技术各个分支中的应用。

除了常规文章外，该期刊还发表受邀的《快讯》、《观点》和深入的社论，报道应用物理学的前沿领域。

APL 观点是前瞻性的邀请信，重点介绍最近的发展或发现。重点关注最近的发展、潜在的颠覆性技术、悬而未决的问题和可能的解决方案。它们还包括一个小型路线图，详细说明社区应将努力方向引导到何处，以使现象可行应用，以及与达到该性能阈值相关的挑战。观点以该领域公认专家的个人观点和意见为特征。

快速通道文章是受邀的原创研究文章，报告的结果特别新颖和重要，或在新兴领域提供重大进展。由于工作的紧迫性和科学重要性，同行评审过程会加快。如果在审查过程中发现论文不符合快速通道标准，则会将其返回正常轨道。

Applied Physics Letters创刊于1962年，由American Institute of Physics出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖物理 - 物理：应用全领域，此刊是该细分领域中属于非常不错的SCI期刊，在行业细分领域中学术影响力较大，专业度认可很高，所以对原创文章要求创新性较高，如果您的文章质量很高，可以尝试。平均审稿速度 约1.4个月 ，影响因子指数3.5，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
