¨
I followed TTP’s author-instructions/sample-article.
¨
I set the page settings of my word processor to the A4 format; with the
margins: bottom 1.5 cm and top 2.5 cm or bottom 0.6 in and top 1 in. (We
shall be able to produce a pdf file from your paper only if the paper format
and the margins are correct.)
¨
I used good-quality white paper of approximately 21 x 29.7 cm or 8.2 x
11.6 in to print my paper (please do not change the document setting from A4
to any other format as the article will print satisfactorily onto either of the
above-mentioned paper sizes).
¨
I sent an identical electronic file (RTF, MS Word, LaTex) together with
the hardcopy. (If the paper size and page set-up are not as described above, we
shall be unable to publish your paper in electronic form on our web page:
http://www.scientific.net. We shall then have to scan it which, when compared
with an electronic version, results in very poor quality.)
¨
I have always used the same version of the name(s) (i.e. either F.A.
Miller or Fred A. Miller or Fred Miller but not various versions alternately),
as only the exact agreement of email and name will allow me to access my paper
on the web.
¨
I included my email address and email addresses of co-authors in the
paper.
¨
I filled out and signed the proper copyright transfer agreement
(mandatory).
¨
I sent all of the above-mentioned documents to the corresponding editor
¨
I filled out an offprint order form.
¨
I included color pictures and wish to have these printed in full color.
Please bill me the additional charge of Euro 980.00 per page (must be
prepaid).
¨
I would like to also order offprints (these must be ordered before printing we will send
you an invoice, post-printing orders will be reproduced in black and white
only)

Abstract. This document explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready manuscript for Trans Tech Publications. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text. The text area for your manuscript must be 17 cm wide and 25 cm high (6.7 and 9.8 inches, resp.). Do not place any text outside this area. Use good quality, white paper of approximately 21 x 29 cm or 8 x 11 inches (please do not change the document setting from A4 to letter). Your manuscript will be reduced by approximately 20% by the publisher. Please keep this in mind when designing your figures and tables etc.
Introduction
All manuscripts must be in English. Please keep a second copy of your manuscript in your office (just in case anything gets lost in the mail). When receiving the manuscript, we assume that the corresponding authors grant us the copyright to use the manuscript for the book or journal in question. Should authors use tables or figures from other Publications, they must ask the corresponding publishers to grant them the right to publish this material in their paper.
Use italic for emphasizing a word or phrase. Do not use boldface typing or capital letters except for section headings (cf. remarks on section headings, below). Use a laser printer, not a matrix dot printer.
Organization of the Text
Section Headings. The section headings are in boldface capital and lowercase letters. Second level headings are typed as part of the succeeding paragraph (like the subsection heading of this paragraph).
Page Numbers. Do not print page numbers: Please number each sheet toward the middle near the bottom (outside the typing area) with a soft pencil.
Tables. Tables (refer with: Table 1, Table 2, ...) should be presented as part of the text, but in such a way as to avoid confusion with the text. A descriptive title should be placed above each table. The caption should be self-contained and placed below or beside the table. Units in tables should be given in square brackets [meV]. If square brackets are not available, use curly {meV} or standard brackets (meV).
Figures. Figures (refer with: Fig. 1, Fig. 2, ...) also should be presented as part of the text, leaving enough space so that the caption will not be confused with the text. The caption should be self-contained and placed below or beside the figure. Generally, only original drawings or photographic reproductions are acceptable. Only very good photocopies are acceptable. Utmost care must be taken to insert the figures in correct alignment with the text. Half-tone pictures should be in the form of glossy prints. If possible, please include your figures as graphic images in the electronic version. If TTP is required to scan and insert images, please keep the following points in mind:
(a) the allotted space (for inserting illustrations) must exactly match the space made available in the camera-ready version, so that the electronic version is identical to the hard copy with regard to page and line breaks.
(b) the required positioning of any high-quality separate illustration must be clearly indicated on its reverse side. The size of the illustrations must exactly match the space left in the camera-ready manuscript.
Equations. Equations (refer with: Eq. 1, Eq. 2, ...) should be indented 5 mm (0.2"). There should be one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it before the text continues. The equations have to be numbered sequentially, and the number put in parentheses at the right-hand edge of the text. Equations should be punctuated as if they were an ordinary part of the text. Punctuation appears after the equation but before the equation number, e.g.
c2
= a2 + b2.

Literature References
References are cited in the text just by square brackets [1]. (If square brackets are not available, slashes may be used instead, e.g. /2/.) Two or more references at a time may be put in one set of brackets [3,4]. The references are to be numbered in the order in which they are cited in the text and are to be listed at the end of the contribution under a heading References, see our example below.
Summary
On your floppy disk, please indicate the format and word processor used. Please also provide your phone number, fax number and e‑mail address for rapid communication with the publisher. Please always send your disk along with a hard copy that must match the disk's content exactly. If you follow the foregoing, your paper will conform to the requirements of the publisher and facilitate a problem-free publication process.
