CHECKLIST
Please go through this check list:
You should prepare your file with AIP LaTeX
macros. See the following
section for instructions on manuscript preparation.
You should include an abstract with 200
words or less.
Your figures should be in encapsulated
postscript format (EPS), or else be provided at production size. Please
try to arrange figures as close as possible to the referring text.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR FIGURE LABELS ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO BE LEGIBLE
AFTER REDUCTION TO BOOK SIZE! ALSO, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU PLOT WITH
SUFFICIENTLY THICK LINES TO MAINTAIN GOOD CONTRAST AFTER REPRODUCTION.
DOUBLE-THICKNESS IS SUGGESTED.
In AIP style, references are indicated by
number and listed in
their order of occurrence in the text, rather than alphabetically.
(Note that you can use the latex \cite{}
command to produce the [#]
numbering automatically, but that you must still manually arrange your
reference list in the proper numerical order. See the examples in the
template files given below.
You must stay within your page limit: 10
pages for invited papers, 6 pages for contributed papers, and 4 pages
for poster papers.
