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.

《應(yīng)用物理快報》（APL）刊登了簡明、最新的應(yīng)用物理學重大新發(fā)現(xiàn)報告。APL 強調(diào)快速傳播關(guān)鍵數(shù)據(jù)和新的物理見解，及時發(fā)表新的實驗和理論論文，報告物理現(xiàn)象在科學、工程和現(xiàn)代技術(shù)各個分支中的應(yīng)用。

除了常規(guī)文章外，該期刊還發(fā)表受邀的《快訊》、《觀點》和深入的社論，報道應(yīng)用物理學的前沿領(lǐng)域。

APL 觀點是前瞻性的邀請信，重點介紹最近的發(fā)展或發(fā)現(xiàn)。重點關(guān)注最近的發(fā)展、潛在的顛覆性技術(shù)、懸而未決的問題和可能的解決方案。它們還包括一個小型路線圖，詳細說明社區(qū)應(yīng)將努力方向引導到何處，以使現(xiàn)象可行應(yīng)用，以及與達到該性能閾值相關(guān)的挑戰(zhàn)。觀點以該領(lǐng)域公認專家的個人觀點和意見為特征。

快速通道文章是受邀的原創(chuàng)研究文章，報告的結(jié)果特別新穎和重要，或在新興領(lǐng)域提供重大進展。由于工作的緊迫性和科學重要性，同行評審過程會加快。如果在審查過程中發(fā)現(xiàn)論文不符合快速通道標準，則會將其返回正常軌道。

Applied Physics Letters創(chuàng)刊于1962年，由American Institute of Physics出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋物理 - 物理：應(yīng)用全領(lǐng)域，此刊是該細分領(lǐng)域中屬于非常不錯的SCI期刊，在行業(yè)細分領(lǐng)域中學術(shù)影響力較大，專業(yè)度認可很高，所以對原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性較高，如果您的文章質(zhì)量很高，可以嘗試。平均審稿速度 約1.4個月 ，影響因子指數(shù)3.5，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
