CHEMICAL PHYSICS

Criteria for publication in Chemical Physics are novelty, quality and general interest in experimental and theoretical chemical physics and physical chemistry. Articles are welcome that deal with problems of electronic and structural dynamics, reaction mechanisms, fundamental aspects of catalysis, solar energy conversion and chemical reactions in general, involving atoms, molecules, proteins, clusters, surfaces, interfaces and bulk matter. Reports on new methodologies and comprehensive assessments of existing ones, as well as applications to new types of problems are especially welcome. Experimental papers are expected to be brought into relation with theory, and theoretical papers should be connected to present or future experiments. Manuscripts that apply standard methods to specific physical-chemical problems and/or to specific systems are appropriate if they report novel results for an important problem of high interest and/or if they provide significant new insights.Manuscripts describing routine use or minor extensions or modifications of established and/or published experimental and theoretical methodologies are not appropriate for the journal. In addition, manuscripts describing analytical procedures that use established spectroscopic techniques, such as for sample characterization, will not be accepted for publication, even if they appear new or improved with respect to procedures previously used.In addition to regular research papers, Chemical Physics publishes invited perspectives articles (called ChemPhys Perspectives) and Special Thematic Issues. Each Chemical Physics Special Issue provides a snapshot of the leading edge in current research of a particular field in chemical physics, and contains invited articles by specialists in that field. The objective is to create a collection of articles representative of the newest findings in a field and equivalent to that covered at a topical conference.

《化学物理》的出版标准是标新立异、高质量和对实验和理论化学、物理化学的普遍兴趣。欢迎讨论电子和结构动力学、反应机理、催化的基本方面、太阳能转换和一般化学反应的文章，涉及原子、分子、蛋白质、团簇、表面、界面和大块物质。特别欢迎关于新方法的报告和对现有方法的全面评估，以及对新类型问题的应用。实验论文要与理论联系起来，理论论文要与现在或将来的实验联系起来。将标准方法应用于特定的物理化学问题和/或特定的系统的手稿，如果它们报告了对一个重要问题的高兴趣的新结果和/或如果它们提供了重要的新见解，是合适的。描述常规使用或对已建立和/或已发表的实验和理论方法进行小的扩展或修改的手稿不适合在该期刊上发表。此外，描述使用现有光谱技术的分析程序的手稿，例如用于样品表征的分析程序，将不被接受出版，即使与以前使用的程序相比，这些手稿似乎是新的或改进过的。除了定期的研究论文，化学物理学还发表邀请透视文章(称为ChemPhys透视)和专题问题。每一期的化学物理特刊都提供了当前化学物理某一特定领域的前沿研究概况，并载有该领域专家的特邀文章。其目的是编制一套文章，代表一个领域的最新研究结果，相当于专题会议的报告。
