I. INTRODUCTION

This is the author's guide to REVT

EX 4.1, the pre-

ferred submission format for all APS and AIP journals. This guide is intended to be a concise introduction to

REVTEX 4.1. The documentation has been separated

out into smaller units to make it easier to locate essen- tial information.

The following documentation is also part of the

REVTEX 4.1 distribution. Updated versions of these will be maintained at the REVTEX 4.1 homepage located at http://authors.aps.org/revtex4/.

REVTEX 4.1 Command and Options Summary

What's New in REVTEX 4.1

This guide assumes a working REVT

EX 4.1 installation.

Please see the installation instructions included with the distribution.

I.1. Changes in REVT

EX 4.1

The REVT

EX system for LATEX began its development

in 1986 and has gone through three major revisions since then. REVTEX 4 was released in August, 2001. Since that time, many user requests for new features were re- ceived. The main goals for REVTEX 4.1 are to incor- porate this user feedback and provide support for the journals of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) . It incorporates the following changes:

Added support for APS journalPhysical Re-

view Special Topics { Physics Education Re- search.

Added support for AIP journals.There is now

an explicitaipsociety option along with support for

AIP journals. Please see theAuthor's Guide to AIP

Substyles for REVTEX 4.1. In addition, REVTEX 4.1

provides an extensible system for the easy addition of new collections of journals.

Endnotes now ordered correctly.Endnotes in the

bibliography now appear in the correct order, inter- leaved with citations.

Multiple references in a single citation sup-

ported using a special starred (*) argument to the\citecommand.One of the major new features in 4.1 made possible by the joint work onnatbib 8.3. Multiple BibTEX entries can be combined into a single \bibitemcommand.Free form text can be prepended and ap- pended to a bibliographic entry using the spe- cial starred (*) argument to the\citecom- mand.Often a citation in the bibliography will have explanatory text such asSee alsoorand references thereinbefore and after the actual citation. The new

REVTEX 4.1\citecommand allows the specication

of both text to precede and follow a citation.

Structured Abstracts.Use of thedescriptionen-

vironment in abstracts now provides for \structured" abstracts.

Figures referring to videos now supported.A

\gure" may now be labeled as aVideoby using the videoenvironment. A frame from the video may be included in the gure and a URL to link the caption's label to the online video also may be included. There is also a\listofvideoscommand.

Better support for arXiv.org in BibTEXThree

more BibTEX elds have been added:SLACcitation, archivePrefix, andprimaryClassin addition to the existing eldeprint.

Improved BibTEXbstles.In addition to the

new features above, numerous other improvements to the APSbstles have been made, including sup- port for displaying journal article titles (using the new longbibliographyoption) and many xes forReviews of Modern Physics. Also, long author lists are no longer automatically truncated. improved.\footnotes in the\widetextortable* environments are now correctly placed and formatted.

Email addresses no longer print twice on papers

less than one page long. eqnarrayalignment improved. \collaborationcan be used with the groupedaddressoption now. letterpapernow ensured as default paper size.

Table of Contents formatting improved.

Support for thelongtablepackage improved.

reftestrestored.

Compatibility with thegeometry, lineno,

lscapeandcolortblpackages improved.For line numbering, rather than usinglineno.stydirectly, thelinenumbersclass option should be used (this will call inlineno.stywith a proper set of default parameters). 3 hyperrefxes. Improvements were to make footnotes work better with thehyperrefpackage. In particular, table footnotes were xed. More anchors forhyperref were also added (titlepage, abstract, and acknowledge- ments).

Documents can have more than 256\citecom-

mands now. \listoffiguresand\listoftablesxed.

Figure and table labels in captions now re

ect proper APS style.

RMP style les conform better to RMP style

guidelines.

Section heading upper-casing improved.

Repeated characters at start of aliation no

longer disappear when usinggroupedaddressop- tion.

There have been many other bug xes and im-

provements to the internalltxgridpackage as well.

I.2. REVT

EX 4 Backwards Compatibility

Documents prepared under REVT

EX 4 should process

correctly under REVTEX 4.1. However, the formatting of the pages and, if using BibTEX, the references may change.

I.3. Submitting to APS Journals

Authors using REVT

EX 4.1 to prepare a manuscript

for submission toPhysical Review Letters,Physical Re- view,Reviews of Modern Physics, or other APS journals must also read the companion documentAPS Author

Guide for REVTEX 4.1distributed with REVTEX and

follow the guidelines detailed there.

The REVT

EX 4.1 distribution includes both a tem-

plate (apstemplate.tex) and a sample document (apssamp.tex). The template is a good starting point for a manuscript. In the following sections are instruc- tions that should be sucient for creating a paper using

REVTEX 4.1.

Further information about submissions to the Ameri- can Physical Society may be found athttp://publish. aps.org/.I.4. Submitting to AIP Journals REVT

EX 4.1 includes support for the journals of the

American Institute of Physics. The style les and au- thoring guides for these journals are distributed as part REVTEX 4.1 distribution. The distribution includes both a template (aiptemplate.tex) and a sample document (aipsamp.tex). The template is a good starting point for a manuscript. In the following sections are instruc- tions that should be sucient for creating a paper using

REVTEX 4.1.

More information may be found athttp://www.aip.

org/pubservs/compuscript.html. Please consult the

Author's Guide to AIP Substyles for REVTEX 4.1for

more information about submissions to AIP journals,

AIP styles les, and other AIP-specic information.

I.5. Contact Information

Any bugs, problems, or inconsistencies with REVT

EX or the APS journal style les should be reported to

REVTEX support atrevtex@aps.org. Reports should

include information on the error and asmallsample document that manifests the problem if possible (please don't send large les!). Issues related to the AIP journal styles should be sent directly totex@aip.org.

II. SOME L

ATEX2"BASICS

REVT

EX 4.1 must sometimes patch the underlying

L

ATEX kernel. This means that REVTEX 4.1 requires

a fairly recent version of L

ATEX2". Versions prior to

2005/12/01 may not work correctly. REVTEX 4.1 will

be maintained to be compatible with future versions of L

ATEX2".

II.1. Useful L

ATEX2"Markup

L

ATEX2"markup is the preferred way to accomplish

many basic tasks. Fonts

Because REVT

EX 4.1 is based upon LATEX2", it in-

herits all of the macros used for controlling fonts. Of particular importance are the L

ATEX2"macros\textit,

\textbf,\textttfor changing to an italic, bold, or type- writer font respectively. One should always use these macros rather than the lower-level TEX macros\it,\bf, and\tt. The LATEX2"macros oer improvements such 4

as better italic correction and scaling in super- and sub- scripts for example. Table I summarizes the font selection commands in L

ATEX2".

User-dened macros

L ATEX2"provides several macros that enable users to easily create new macros for use in their manuscripts: Herehcommandiis the name of the macro being dened, hnargiis the number of arguments the macro takes,hopti are optional default values for the arguments, andhdefi is the actually macro deniton.\newcommandcreates a new macro,\renewcommandredenes a previously de- ned macro, and\providecommandwill dene a macroTABLE II. L ATEX2"commands for special symbols and eectsCommand Symbol/Eect \textemdash| \textendash{ \textexclamdown< \textquestiondown> \textquotedblleft\ \textquotedblright" \textquoteleft` \textquoteright' \textbullet \textperiodcentered \textvisiblespace\textcompworkmarkBreak a ligature \textcircled{hchari}Circle a characteronly if it hasn't been dened previously. The *-ed ver- sions are an optimization that indicates that the macro arguments will always be \short" arguments. This is al- most always the case, so the *-ed versions should be used whenver possible. The use of these macros is preferred over using plain TEX's low-level macros such as\def,\edef, and\gdef.

APS authors must follow theAPS Author Guide for

REVTEX 4.1when dening macros.

Symbols

L

ATEX2"has added some convenient commands for

some special symbols and eects. These are summarized in Table II. See [3] for details. L

ATEX2"provides additional symbols in a separate

package calledlatexsym. To use these symbols, include the package using: \usepackage{latexsym}

II.2. Using L

ATEX2"packages with REVTEX

Many L

ATEX2"packages are available, for instance,

on CTAN athttp://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/ macros/latex/required/and athttp://www.ctan. org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/or may be available on other distribution media, such as the

TEX Live CD-ROMhttp://www.tug.org/texlive/.

Some of these packages are automatically loaded by REVTEX 4.1 when certain class options are invoked and are, thus, \required." They will either be distributed with REVTEX or are already included with a standard L

ATEX2"distribution.

5

Required packages are automatically loaded by

REVTEX on an as-needed basis. Other packages should be loaded using the\usepackagecommand. To load the hyperrefpackage, the document preamble might look like: \documentclass{revtex} \usepackage{hyperref}

Some common (and very useful) L

ATEX2"packages are

a prioriimportant enough that REVTEX 4.1 has been designed to be specically compatible with them. A bug stemming from the use of one of these packages in con- junction with any of the APS journals may be reported by contacting REVTEX support.

AMS packagesREVTEX 4.1 is compatible with and

depends upon the AMS packagesamsfonts,amssymb, andamsmath. In fact, REVTEX 4.1 requires use of these packages to accomplish some common tasks. See Section VI for more. REVTEX 4.1 requires version 2.0 or higher of the AMS-L

ATEX package.

array and dcolumnThearrayanddcolumnpackages are part of L

ATEX's required suite of packages.dcolumn

is required to align table columns on decimal points (and it in turn depends upon thearraypackage). longtablelongtable.stymay be used for large tables that will span more than one page. REVTEX 4.1 dy- namically applies patches to longtable.sty so that it will work in two-column mode. hyperrefhyperref.styis a package by Sebastian Rahtz that is used for putting hypertext links into L

ATEX2"documents. REVTEX 4.1 has hooks to al-

low e-mail addresses and URL's to become hyperlinks ifhyperrefis loaded. linenoREVTEX 4.1 improves compatibility with lineno.sty. This package should only be loaded via the newlinenumbersclass option. See Section V.7 for more information. lscapeREVTEX 4.1 improves compatibility with lscape.sty. geometryREVTEX 4.1 improves compatibility with geometry.sty. colortblREVTEX 4.1 improves compatibility with colortbl.sty.

Other packages will con

ict with REVT

EX 4.1 and

should be avoided. Usually such a con ict arises because the package adds enhancements that REVTEX 4.1 al- ready includes. Here are some common packages that clash with REVTEX 4.1:multicolmulticol.styis a package by Frank Mittel- bach that adds support for multiple columns. In fact, early versions of REVTEX 4.1 usedmulticol.styfor precisely this. REVTEX 4.1 incorporates its own sup- port for multiple-column typesetting. citeDonald Arseneau'scite.styis often used to pro- vide support for sorting a\citecommand's arguments into numerical order and to collapse consecutive runs of reference numbers. REVTEX 4.1 has this function- ality built-in already via thenatbibpackage. mciteREVTEX 4.1 already contains a lot of this func- tionality through its updated syntax for the\cite command and the latestnatbibpackage. end oatThe same functionality can be accomplished using theendfloatsclass option. oatfloat.styprovides a mechanism for creating new oat classes with just a few commands. REVTEX 4.1 has limited compatible with oat.sty. If attempting to use this package, be sure to put any\newfloatcom- mands after the\begin{document}line.

III. THE DOCUMENT PREAMBLE

The preamble of a L

ATEX document is the set of com-

mands that precede the\begin{document}line. It con- tains a\documentclassline to load the REVTEX 4.1 class (i.e., all of the REVTEX 4.1 macro denitions), \usepackagemacros to load other macro packages, and other macro denitions.

III.1. Thedocumentclassline

The basic formatting of the manuscript

is controlled by settingclass optionsusing \documentclass[hoptionsi]{revtex4-1}. The op- tional arguments that appear in the square brackets control the layout of the document. At this point, onequotesdbs_dbs14.pdfusesText_20
