Physics Editorial W. Beiglbo"ck: Contribution to a Multi-Author Volume

("Quasi-Monograph", "Topical Volume" )

Dear author, 

we are pleased to learn that you will typeset your contribution with
the help of our LATEX2e class.

In the current directory you will find the following style files:
svmult.cls % basic LATEX2e class physmubb.sty % additional parameters
for specific style requirements subeqnar.sty % enables sub-numbering of
equations cropmark.sty % allows to put cropmarks on the first page of
your contribution sprmindx.sty % supports the Springer layout style for
indexes and must be used % with the separate program "MakeIndex" (see
below)

The packages "graphicx", "multicol" and the program "MakeIndex" are
also neededand should be part of every standard LATEX installation - if
this is not the case on your computer, you may copy them easily and in
the latest version from the CTAN server(Address:
http://www.dante.de/cgi-bin/ctan-index).

In addition please find the following sample files in the current
directory: author.tex % sample input file of a contribution figure.eps
% sample figure file

Please put the complete set of files in your "working directory" and
start LATEX2e -the sample TEX files should run smoothly.  I strongly
suggest that you use the attachedsample files for your own manuscript
input or editing since many parameters have been fixed by us so as to
facilitate the final text and page layout according to
Springerstandards. These include:

1.  Styles as listed above 2.  Some newly defined commands (e.g. to
produce an upright u for micro... ) and 3.  All commands necessary for
a smooth TEX run.

20. July 1999Physics Editorial W. Beiglbo"ck: Contribution to a
Multi-Author Volume- page 2/5 of 20.07.99 Before you start the actual
typesetting, I would like to draw your attention to some specific ways
of writing (and coding) scientific text as is typical for Springer.
Please try to adhere to these standards right from the start and please
don't panic in view of the following number of pages - apart from
explanation and comments the pages contain a lot of direct help as to
their coding and execution (in LATEX) and thus will hopefully
facilitate your work.

Mathematics Please set mathematical expressions and formulae within the
running text in mathmode, i.e. $...$, sothat the desired spaces are set
automatically. In the text mode please put a fixed thin space \,
between a number and its unit. Displayed formulae will automatically be
set centered . If you need to emphasize individualdisplayed formula you
may put a simple box around it. Please don't use double border lines -
this would just be over the top. Equation arrays. In order to get a
readable layout for your equation arrays we recommend that youuse the
LATEX environment \eqnarray . This will automatically use optimal line
spaces and line breaks. In any case, put the equals sign generally at
the beginning of a line; operators such as +, -, *,etc. should also be
at the beginning of the new line and should be indented to the right of
the equals sign of the line above. If you want to sub-number individual
lines of your equation array you may use the enclosed
style"subeqnar.sty" - the \usepackage command and corresponding
definitions needed have already been set in the sample input file
"author.tex". Please punctuate displayed equations in the same way as
any other written statement and insert \;before the punctuation to
supply a little extra space.

Vectors will by default appear boldface italic if correctly coded.
Please use \vec{v} to depict thevector v. Abbreviations, chemical
symbols and formulae should be set upright. Units (and their prefixes)
should correspond to the SI standards and be put upright. In your
TEXinput please use a small fixed space between a number and its unit.  
Please don't put units within angled brackets, instead use round
brackets or, in case you need to depict two related units, eitheruse a
slash or write them as fraction. You can get an upright u (for the
prefix micro) with the command \umu as defined in the root file. If you
need other upright Greek letters you may definethem yourself following
the definition used for the upright u.

Variables should be represented by a unique single character and
always, i.e. in math mode as wellas in the text, be set in italics. If
possible please use \varepsilon for e and \varrho for r. Exponential
terms with long exponents or with exponents containing subscripts or
superscriptsshould be set with "exp(...)". Subscripts and Superscripts
should always appear upright \mathrm{...} when they are
abbreviations.If you need to depict a vector, please also use the
syntax \vec{...}. The font size will automatically be adjusted.
Differential d, exponential e and imaginary i should be set upright in
Springer physics books, this works with the commands \D, \E, \I
(followed by a space each time).

Physics Editorial W. Beiglbo"ck: Contribution to a Multi-Author Volume-
page 3/5 of 20.07.99 Fractions should be set with a slash (solidus)
when they appear within exponents or narrow tables orin the running
text. Otherwise the font size will be too small to be easily read.
Delimiters should be large enough to completely enclose their content -
therefore we recommendusing dynamic LATEX input commands, e.g.\left[ or
\right}, \langle or \rangle, \left| and \right| etc.

Text layout Headings and Their Paragraphs. Please use the following
heading commands for the different hierarchies:

\title* Title of your contribution (unnumbered) \section First level
(numbered) \subsection Second level (numbered) \subsection* Third level
(unnumbered) \subsubsection* Fourth level (unnumbered, text follows
directly)

In English texts all words of a heading are capitalized except for
articles (a, an, the), conjunctions and prepositions of up to 4 letters
(e.g. on, of, at, to, by, and, or, but, from, with). If a heading needs
more than one line please break the line at an appropriate place and
put the binding word (conjunctions, prepositions, articles...) at the
beginning of the new line. Last but not least please make sure that
every heading is followed by at least a short passage of text in order
to avoid a simple listing of different hierarchies.

If a special, maybe non-English, expression is used repeatedly, please
adhere consistently to a single form of spelling.

Emphasized Text should simply be depicted in italics and should be
limited to a selection of individual words. Emphasizing complete
sentences should only be done in exceptional cases, e.g. when a law is
presented.

Abbreviations. Please put abbreviations such as "e.g.", "cf." and
"i.e." upright. Only abbreviations that can be found in a dictionary
may be used without definition. Particular terminology that is often
abbreviated should be defined on first usage.

Dashes. In Springer books we differentiate between 3 different types of
dashes which have to be coded individually:

(a) To produce a simple hyphen, used to connect or separate dependent
parts of a word such as prefixes or in compound adjectives, please
enter a single keyboard hyphen without any space either side (-).

(b) To produce a `Springer em-dash' - e.g. to denote an insertion
within a sentence - please enter two hyphens with a space on either
side (_--_).

(c) To produce an en-dash, e.g. to stand in place of "to" in ranges, as
in "Fig. 3a-c" or "... in the range 10-20 eV", to stand in place of
other words, as in "...the electron-photon interaction", or to connect
two names that are independent of each other such as "Hartree-Fock",
please enter two single hyphens with no space either side (--).

Quotation Marks.  Please use the following commands to create English
quotation marks:

Physics Editorial W. Beiglbo"ck: Contribution to a Multi-Author Volume-
page 4/5 of 20.07.99 \lq_word' gives `word' in the dvi file
\lq_\lq_word" gives "word" in the dvi file.

Page Break.  Please see to it that you always have at least 2 lines of
the same paragraph at the foot or head of a page. So-called "orphans or
widows" reduce the readability of your text.

Cross-References Within Text.  Cross-references to particular figures,
tables, sections and so on (always followed by a number) should always
be written in full when they stand at the beginning of a sentence, but
in any other position within the text they should be abbreviated as
follows:

(Figure) Fig./Figs.; (Chapter) Chap./Chaps.; (Page) p./pp.; (Section)
Sect./Sects.; (Volume) Vol./Vols.

Exceptions: (a)  "Table" should always be written out in full - at the
beginning of a sentence as well as within it.  (b) When referring to
equations please don't use the abbreviations "Eq./Eqs."  - it is
sufficient to use the equation number set in round brackets e.g.
(1.45). Only at the beginning of a sentence should you write "Equation
(1.45)".

(c) Please cite references as numbers in square brackets. Simply use
the reference number set in rectangular brackets e.g.  [165], don't use
the abbreviations "Ref./Refs." in the middle of text. Only at the
beginning of a sentence should you write "Reference [165]".

Figures/Tables and Their Captions Figures. Please discuss the figures
you intend to include in your contribution with the book editor.
Whatever decisions are made about the type of figures you include,
please take the following into account.

If you plan to produce your figures electronically, please make sure
that in your 600 dpi printout the lines are not broken up and are of a
constant width (0.5-0.75 pt). The font size for the labels may vary
between 7 to 9 pt. Grids and details within the figures must be clearly
readable and may not be written one on top of the other.  If you want
to use a raster, please use a maximum of 300 dpi for the resolution.

If you plan to scan your figures, please make sure that you scan them
at their final size: Scanned line drawings must be digitalized with a
resolution of around 800 dpi. For digital half-tones, 400 dpi is
usually sufficient.

If you want to include your *.eps-figures electronically we recommend
you use the "graphicx" package. Please find coding examples in the
enclosed sample files.

Tables. Please make sure that every table is preceded by a heading. The
layout of your tables should not contain any vertical lines. The head
of the table should not contain any extra lines. "Overwide" tables
should be reduced to the normal page width, or if this is not possible,
should not exceed the page width by more than 5 mm. Please find coding
examples in the enclosed sample files.

Captions.

Physics Editorial W. Beiglbo"ck: Contribution to a Multi-Author Volume-
page 5/5 of 20.07.99 1.  Should a figure consist of several parts,
please set the names of the parts boldface within round brackets inside
the caption, e.g. Fig.1.1. general explanation (a) individual
description (b)... 2.  Should you want to explain special line formats
etc. used in the figure, then please set their

description in italics within round brackets, e.g. Fig.1.1. In the
upper edge you find x,y,z (dashed line)... 3.  Don't put a full stop at
the end of the last sentence of a caption.

Appendix It is rather undesirable to have an appendix at the end of
individual contributions. But, of course, if you must include an
appendix you may use the standard LaTeX command (\appendix) for it.
Please be aware that we have modified it so that the numbering of
equations, figures and tables remains arabic. The section and possible
subsection headings themselves should be unnumbered
(\section*{Appendix}). Please find coding examples in the enclosed
sample files.

References Please cite references as numbers in square brackets, e.g. "
as found in [9]". Please do not use any other system, for example
name/date system. The references themselves may be listed sequentially
in order of citation or in alphabetical order. If alphabetical order is
used the references are numbered in that order and are cited out of
sequence. Please find coding examples in the enclosed sample files.

When producing your bibliography please make sure that the data is
complete (name, initial, year of publication, book title and title of
series, publisher's name and place, or journal name, volume number,
pages numbers) and up-to-date (edition number).

Please make sure that in the individual reference citations the
initials of names don't stand alone.Please connect them to their
surname with the help of the T

EX tilde "~" so that they will not beseparated from each other when T
EX breaks the line.  The same applies to volume or page numbers:please
see to it that individual numbers out of a complete row do not stand
alone in a separate line.

Index. Please make sure that you have coded your entries for the book's
subject index before submitting the TEX files of your contribution to
the editor. Otherwise it will take quite a while for the entries to be
selected afterwards.

As soon as you have finished your contribution please contact the
volume editor of the plannedbook. To start with, he or she will
presumably need a PS file and/or printout of your contribution for
evaluation. After you have carried out all necessary corrections the
complete set of TEX andfigure files as well as your individual extra
definitions and styles will be needed for a successful compilation of
the complete book. (Please reduce your own definitions and macros to an
absoluteminimum since otherwise it will become rather strenuous to
compile all individual authors' contributions to a mutual book file).
Should you have queries or need support concerning the content or
contract side of your book project please contact the volume editor of
the planned book.

Should you have queries or need our support concerning the technical
side of the manuscriptpreparation, such as layout, LATEX coding,
figures etc. you may of course directly contact the production editor
responsible for your book , or Brigitte Reichel-Mayer
reichel-mayer@springer.de Please always mention the name(s) of the
volume editor(s), the title of the book, and ideally the Springer
project number, so that we can easily identify the corresponding
project files.

Yours sincerely, Springer Verlag
