About the journal
Physical Review Materials (PRMaterials), launched in 2017, is a broad-scope journal publishing high-quality research on materials. The journal serves the multidisciplinary community working on the prediction, synthesis, processing, structure, properties, and modeling of a wide range of materials.
Embracing Multidisciplinary Materials Research
Materials research has grown rapidly in recent years and increasingly transcends conventional subject boundaries. PRMaterials provides a publication and reference venue to the expanding community of physicists, materials scientists, chemists, engineers, and scientists in related disciplines, carrying out high-quality, original research in materials. PRMaterials coordinates with other members of the Physical Review journal family to serve new subspecialties as they develop. As such, PRMaterials expands the scope of Physical Review’s journals, providing an explicit focus on materials research.
PRMaterials publishes Review Articles, Research Updates, detailed Research Articles, and Rapid Communications, which are short papers of particular significance and/or topical interest. The journal has a flexible approach to article lengths and welcomes submission of longer papers that provide depth and authority in their subject areas.
By Scientists, For Scientists
Like all of the journals in the Physical Review family, PRMaterials is shaped by researchers to serve the research community. This commitment ensures that its mission and standards prioritize the needs of researchers and authors, not commercial publishing interests. Physical Review’s reach is far and wide, with authors and referees from over 130 countries.
PRMaterials Scope
PRMaterials covers a wide range of topics on materials research, including:
- Prediction, synthesis, design, and modeling of materials
- Crystal growth, film growth, crystallization, and kinetics
- Magnetic, ferroelectric, multiferroic, and superconducting materials
- Thin films, interfaces, surfaces, and heterostructures
- Two-dimensional materials
- Metamaterials and plasmonic, optical, and photonic materials
- Materials for energy harvesting, storage, and generation
- Materials for catalysis and electrochemistry, including photocatalysis and electrocatalysis
- Glasses and amorphous materials
- Soft materials, polymers, self-assembly, biomaterials
- Electronic materials, semiconductors, metals, and dielectrics, including organics
- Topological materials
- Mechanical properties, materials structure, and phase transformations
- Nanostructures, nanocomposites, and nanomaterials
PRMaterials Acceptance Criteria
Submitted manuscripts should meet the following criteria:
- Present important results that significantly advance the field.
- Generate interest for PRMaterials' readers.
- Represent an authoritative and substantive addition to the body of literature.
- Explore the subject matter comprehensively and thoroughly.
Open Access
At the core of APS's mission is a commitment to meeting the needs of physicists, a community that has been at the leading edge of open access. As a result, APS supports a variety of sustainable access options:
- Authors can pay an article-processing charge (APC) to make accepted manuscripts immediately accessible under a CC-BY (4.0 International) license. In keeping with APS's community-orientation, this is the most permissive license available and permits anyone to copy, distribute, transmit, and adapt the work with proper attribution. APCs cover all costs and decrease the need for subscription revenue, helping to keep subscription price-per-article low (current APS APCs).
- APS authors are free to post the final published version of their articles on their laboratory and institutional web sites.
- APS makes its journals free to read at U.S. public libraries and high schools by application. Contact publisher@aps.org for more information.
- APS is a founding member of CHORUS, which enables distributed public access to published research articles reporting on U.S. federal government funded research.
- APCs for open access publication are waived for authors from countries for which APS offers free online access to its subscription journals.

Chris Leighton is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and a graduate faculty member in Physics at the University of Minnesota (UMN). Following a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Durham in the UK, he pursued post-doctoral research at the University of California San Diego, then joined UMN in 2001. His research deals with the electronic and magnetic properties of novel materials including complex oxides, oxide heterostructures, metallic spintronics, complex alloys, organic conductors, and photovoltaics. His honors include Fellowship in the APS and a Cozzarelli Prize from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and he currently also serves as Chair of APS GMAG. |

Athanasios received a Ph.D. in materials science from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 2002. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Arizona State University and later as a Seaborg Institute fellow at the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory. He worked with both material scientists and physicists, experimentalists and theorists, on a variety of topics including spintronics, semiconductor physics, strongly correlated materials, actinides, and the development of first-principles methods for the electronic structure of solids. He has many years of Editorial experience as an Associate Editor of Physical Review B, which he joined in 2010. |
Mu Wang, Editor

Mu Wang received his Ph.D. in 1991 at Nanjing University, and went on to work as a postdoctoral researcher at Nijmegen University, Netherlands. He received the Chien-Shiung Wu Physics Award from the Chinese Physical Society in 1992 and the Distinguished Young Scholar Fund from the NSF of China in 1994. He was honored in 2007 with the National Award for Natural Sciences by the Chinese State Department. Mu is a fellow of the IOP (UK) and the APS. His research interests focus on interfacial growth mechanisms, self-organization in crystallization, plasmonics and metamaterials. Prior to joining APS in 2014 as Associate Editor for PRL, he was the Cheung-Kong Professor in condensed matter physics at Nanjing University and the Director of National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures. He served as a Consulting Editor to PRX before serving as Editor of PRMaterials. He is also the outreach coordinator for the APS journals in China. |
Hari Dahal, Associate Editor
American Physical Society, Ridge, NY, USA
