AIP Publishing, a division of the American Institute of Physics (AIP), has announced the appointment of Judith MacManus-Driscoll as editor of its new open access, rapid publication journal, APL Materials. Affiliated with AIP's Applied Physics Letters (APL), APL Materials will build on the history and rich tradition of APL, now celebrating its 50th anniversary.
MacManus-Driscoll is a professor of materials science in the department of materials science and metallurgy of the University of Cambridge (UK). Her research focuses on the properties of complex oxide materials and nanostructures with wide-ranging functions. During the last 20 years of her career, she has published more than 250 papers in this area. She is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics (UK), a member of the Materials Research Society, and a long-term visiting staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
APL Materials will publish both experimental and theoretical articles on materials with a range of functional properties including, but not limited to, electronic, optical, electrical, magnetic, biological, ionic, multifunctional, and emergent phenomena. Manuscripts focusing on materials aspects of small – length - scale phenomena and devices are also invited.
