Special Issue: Coherent Matter Waves

Abstract

Call for papers The achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation using evaporative cooling has driven a new generation of atomic, molecular and optical physics. It has also given rise to important new links with other areas of physics. The Journal of Physics B will have a special issue to highlight the important new science that is coming out of the production of ultra-cold trapped gases. This should, of course, include the production, manipulation and use of matter waves. Papers that address related topics in atom optics and interferometry are very much welcomed. Coverage: Bose-Einstein Condensation Ultra-cold Atomic Collision Physics Atom Lasers Josephson Effects Degenerate Fermi Gases Atomic Optics and Interferometry Nonlinear Atom Optics Molecular Physics in Condensed Gases Phase Coherence of Condensates Vortices and Solitons in condensates All Optical Routes to BEC Submission Authors are invited to submit articles for consideration in the Special Issue, scheduled for publication in November 2000. All articles will be refereed to the usual high standards of the journal, and authors will receive free offprints of their published paper. There are no page charges. Three copies of the manuscript are required and should be sent to the Publishing Editor of the Journal at the address given below. Please include a covering letter stating that the submission is to be considered for the Coherent Matter Waves Special Issue. If this is not included the article will be treated as a normal submission and will not appear in the dedicated issue. Deadline for submission of manuscripts is 14 April 2000. Please send manuscripts to: Nicola Gulley Publishing Editor, Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Dirac House, Temple Back, Bristol, BS1 6BE, UK.
