them within parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In
the example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization
{A[m(1)]}”, not just “A/m”. Do not label axes with a ratio of
quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K)”,
not “Temperature/K”.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” in
America is without an “e” after the “g”. Avoid the stilted
expression “one of us (R. B. G.) thanks . . .”. Instead, try
“R. B. G. thanks. . .”. Put sponsor acknowledgments in the
unnumbered footnote on the first page.
R EFERENCES
Please number citations consecutively within brackets [1].
The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply
to the reference number, as in [3]—do not use “Ref. [3]”
or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence:
“Reference [3] was the first . . .”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the ac-
tual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was
cited. Do not put footnotes in the abstract or reference list.
Use letters for table footnotes.
Unless there are six authors or more give all authors’ names;
do not use “et al.”. Papers that have not been published,
even if they have been submitted for publication, should be
cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for
publication should be cited as “in press” [5]. Capitalize only
the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and
element symbols.
For papers published in translation journals, please give the
English citation first, followed by the original foreign-language
citation [6].
