Wiley-VCH to launch physica status solidi RRL - Rapid Research 
Letters: The market leader in extremely short publication times 
in the area of solid state physics

Weinheim, Germany, November 21, 2006 - Wiley-VCH today announced 
the launch of physica status solidi RRL - Rapid Research Letters, 
the latest member of the renowned journals cluster physica status 
solidi.

The journal's mission is the ultra-rapid publication of new, 
important and peer reviewed results in all fields of solid state 
physics, materials science, and interdisciplinary areas, from 
basic science to applications and devices. It will focus on 
findings with a high degree of novelty as well as other results 
of immediate interest to the scientific community.

physica status solidi RRL - Rapid Research Letters will be the 
fastest peer-reviewed publication medium in solid state physics. 
As explained by the Editor-in-Chief Martin Stutzmann, "the main 
asset of the journal is the so far unchallenged speed. On the 
average, only two weeks are needed between the electronic 
submission of a manuscript and its online appearance on Wiley 
InterScience. The particular advantage of fast publication 
without compromising on the quality of a transparent and strict 
review process has already been recognized by active scientists 
from all over the world." The Editor-in-Chief is supported by a 
global team of distinguished Editorial Board members, among them 
Shuit-Tong Lee, Hong Kong; John Robertson, Cambridge; Michael S. 
Shur, Troy; James S. Speck, Santa Barbara; and Christian Thomsen, 
Berlin.

pss RRL will target physicists, materials scientists, 
crystallographers, chemists and device engineers, all dealing 
with basic or applied research as well as those teaching in solid 
state physics and materials science.

physica status solidi RRL - Rapid Research Letters is available 
in print and online via Wiley InterScience 
(http://www.interscience.wiley.com), Wiley's dynamic online 
publishing platform.

The first issue is now accessible (http://www.pss-rapid.com) and 
comprises a very balanced collection of 15 Rapid Research Letters 
from five continents on a broad range of topics such as 
nanocrystalline and composite materials, ferromagnetism, phase 
change access memories, organic electronics, and solar cells. 
More accepted articles will be continuously added to the internet 
edition of the journal.

Complimentary online access is available to all institutions throughout
2007. To register, please visit
