Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on condensed matter physics, including topics such as magnetism in quasiperiodic and periodic lattices, spin Hamiltonians, and ground-state phases of magnetic chains. It also covers theoretical models for opinion dynamics and rumor propagation, as well as microscopic theories of orbital selectivity in helical crystals and phonon-electron interactions. Additionally, the journal features work on geometric diagnostics for director fields using holonomy, oscillator networks, and the application of deep learning to dynamical scaling analysis in statistical physics models.
