Special issue on filamentation

Abstract

Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics is delighted to announce a forthcoming special issue on filamentation, to appear in the spring of 2015, and invites you to submit a paper. This special issue will attempt to give an overview of the present status of this field in order to create synergies and foster future developments. The issue is open to papers on the following issues: * Theoretical advances on filamentation. * Self-focusing and collapse. * Filamentation in various media. * Pulse self-compression and ultrafast processes in filaments. * Molecular alignment and rotation. * Filamentation tailoring. * Interaction between filaments. * Filament weather and pollution control. * Filament induced condensation and precipitation. * Terahertz science with filaments. * Lasing in filaments. * Filament induced molecular excitation and reaction. * Electric discharge and plasma. * Cross-disciplinary applications. Novel concepts related to these topics are particularly welcome. Please submit your article by 1 October 2014 (expected web publication: spring 2015) using our website http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/jphysb-iop [http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/jphysb-iop] . Submissions received after this date will be considered for the journal, but may not be included in the special issue. The issue will be edited by Ruxin Li, Howard Milchberg and André Mysyrowicz.
