along with the camera-ready version (see separate instructions). The envelope has to be marked clearly "PAPER". For these proceedings, an electronic submission on a diskette or CD-ROM is required by Physica E. Therefore, the author(s) are obliged to bring a copy of the Physica E manuscript on a diskette to the registration desk during the Conference. The papers whose authors will not meet this requirement will not be published.

Original material:
Submission of a manuscript implies that it is not being simultaneously considered for publication elsewhere and that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication.

Types of contributions and length

Manuscript preparation

All manuscripts should be written in proper English. The paper copies of the text should be prepared with double line spacing and wide margins, on numbered sheets.

Structure:

• Order
  Please adhere to the following order of presentation: Article title, Author(s), Affiliation(s), Abstract (of up to 200 words), PACS codes and keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendices, References, Figure captions, Tables.
• Corresponding author:
  The name, complete postal address, telephone and fax numbers and the E-mail address of the corresponding author should be given on the first page of the manuscript.
• PACS codes / keywords:
  Please supply one or more relevant PACS-1998 classification codes and 3-4 keywords of your own choice for indexing purposes.
• References:
  References to other work should be consecutively numbered in the text using square brackets and listed by number in the Reference list.

Illustrations

Illustrations should be submitted in quadruplicate: one master set and three sets of copies included with the text.

• Line Drawings:
  The line drawings in the master set should be original laser printer or plotter output or drawn in black india ink, with careful lettering, large enough (3-5 mm) to remain legible after reduction for printing.
• Photographs:
  The photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required in the printed version. They should be unmounted unless part of a composite figure. Any scale markers should be inserted on the photograph itself, and not drawn below it.
• Colour plates:
  Figures may be published in colour, if this is judged essential by the editor. The publisher and the author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. Further information is available from the publisher.
