APL and JAP - Most Highly Cited Journals in Applied Physics

APL and JAP retain the top spots as the most highly cited journals in Applied Physics! Thanks for your contributions Journal metrics just released by Thomson Reuters* once again show Applied Physics Letters (APL) and Journal of Applied Physics (JAP) to be the two most highly cited journals in the Applied Physics category. The latest data again ranks them as the first and second most highly cited of the 116 journals tracked in the category. This is only possible through your efforts as authors and reviewers and we are grateful for your time and energy to make APL and JAP such valued resources year after year. *2010 Journal Citation Reports® (Thomson Reuters, 2011) Highlights of the data include: Applied Physics Letters Journal of Applied Physics #1 in citations with 197,445 Impact Factor: 3.820 5-year Impact Factor: 3.845 Immediacy Index: 0.664 Eigenfactor score: 0.72217 #2 in citations with 119,644 Impact Factor: 2.064 5-year Impact Factor: 2.201 Immediacy Index: 0.363 Eigenfactor score: 0.32798 APL Research Highlights Nonvolatile low-voltage memory transistor based on SiO2 tunneling and HfO2 blocking layers with charge storage in Au nanocrystals V.

Appl. Phys. Lett. 98, 212902 (2011) Tuning laser-induced band gaps in graphene Hernán L. Calvo, Horacio M. Pastawski, Stephan Roche, and Luis E. F. Foa Torres The authors show that it is possible to use a laser field in the mid-infrared range to tune the electronic structure of graphene and its electrical response. The modifications are predicted to arise both around the Dirac point and at ±Ω/2. Moreover, since the results are strongly dependent on the laser polarization, the authors suggest that it may be used as a control parameter. Appl. Phys. Lett. 98, 232103 (2011) JAP Research Highlights Electron-impact excitation cross sections into Ne(2p53p) levels for plasma applications R. O. Jung, Garrett A. Piech, M. L. Keeler, John B. Boffard, L.
