Quantitative atomic force microscopy, regardless of operation mode
Söngen et al. discuss their recent Special Issue paper, in which they develop a new method for quantitative analysis of AFM data applicable to any mode.
Reconciliation between atomic and electronic structure periodicity in Si(111)-7×7
For the first time, a 7×7 intensity modulation of electronic band structure has been observed in the 7×7–reconstructed Si(111) surface. Sheverdyaeva et al. give an account of their research published in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter.
The stationary nano-SQUID
Can we measure the magnetic signature of a state without altering that state?
Introducing the Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS)
An article presenting a comprehensive description of the design, scientific equipment and technological infrastructure soon to be available at the Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) facility.
Nonlinear conduction in a stable material with cheap components
Fe3O2BO3 is a ludwigite with a single type of metallic ion (Fe). The ludwigites belong to the family of oxyborates and are characterized by the presence of low dimensional sub-units in the form of three legged ladders (3LL) along the… Read More ›
Can relativity explain coherent ultrafast magnetism?
Recent research reveals that previously unknown relativistic physics could be at the heart of femtosecond coherent magnetism.

Mapping the Fermi-surface topology in a compensated semimetal
The Fermi-surface topology is revealed by angular-dependent magnetoresistance and quantum oscillations in LuPtBi
Image of the week: Chemisorption of Hydrogen on Graphene
Our image of the week comes from Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter and a recent paper from Junje Zhang et al. investigating the chemisoption of hydrogen on graphene using molecular dynamics.
“By breaking disciplinary barriers, I believe condensed matter physics has placed itself at the frontier of science” – an interview with JPCM section editor Professor Talat Rahman
Talat Rahman is a Distinguished and Pegasus Professor at the Department of Physics, University of Central Florida, and section editor of the new Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter section on Physics of Chemical Processes.
Infinitesimal disorder in the Kagome lattice: Cluster spin glass
How does weak bond disorder affect the classical spin liquid state in a geometrically frustrated Ising Kagome system?
How has the condensed matter landscape changed over the past 50 years?
We explore the range of topics covered by JPCM and see how these have evolved over the years
How stable are topological properties in bismuth?
In a recent Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter paper, Maciej Bieniek, Tomasz Woźniak and Paweł Potasz investigate atomically thin bismuth nanostructures in the context of stability of their topological properties.
