In addition to the publication of the first articles in PMC Physics A this week, we are also very pleased to be able to announce the launch of a second open access journal, PMC Physics B.
PMC Physics B will cover all areas of condensed matter research along with atomic, molecular and optical physics. We are also aiming to be the journal of choice for research at the interface of these two areas.
The journal will have two editors-in-chief, Profs. Peter Hatton and Stephen Buckman.
Professor Peter Hatton is head of the condensed matter research group
at the University of Durham and has published more than 100 papers in
neutron scattering, orbital physics, resonant soft x-ray scattering,
strongly correlated electron systems, superconductors and x-ray
scattering.
Professor Stephen Buckman is Research Director of the Australian
Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Antimatter-Matter Studies,
focusing on absolute scattering measurements of low energy,
electron-driven processes in atoms and molecules, scattering from
excited atoms and molecules, and the elucidation of resonance
excitation mechanisms in electron collisions.
Speaking of his new role, Buckman said, "I am delighted to be working with PhysMath Central and to be one of the editors for this ambitious journal. As well as providing a open access option for scientists to publish their very best work on condensed matter or AMO physics, we are particularly excited to cover emerging areas which were traditionally at the interface of one or the other discipline."

To celebrate the launch of this new journal, publication in PMC Physics B will be free for submissions received before 1 December 2007. Submit your article now!
