\section{Introduction}

Your goal is to simulate, as closely as possible, the usual
appearance of typeset papers in the {\it IEEE Transactions on
Magnetics\/}. One difference is that the authors' affiliations should
appear immediately following their names. For items not addressed in
these instructions, please refer to a recent issue of the journal.
Prepare your camera-ready paper in full-size format, on 8$\tfrac12$~in
$\times$ 11 in or A4 paper. 

\subsection{Paper Preparation}

\subsubsection{Type sizes and typefaces}

The best results will be obtained if your computer word processor has
proportional fonts and
several type sizes. Follow the type sizes specified in Table I as
best you can. As an aid in gauging type font size, 1 point is about
0.35 mm. The size of a font in points can be estimated by
measuring the distance from the top of an ascender to the bottom of a
descender. In particular, the size of the lowercase letter ``j''
will give the point size. Use a proportional, serif typeface such as
Times or Dutch Roman. Avoid sans serif typefaces such as Swiss or
Helvetica. If your paper is longer than the allowed page limit, you
may shorten it by using a slightly smaller type size for the main
text or by slightly reducing the space between lines. 
Do not use a dot-matrix printer.

\subsubsection{Format}

In formatting your page, set the top margin to 19 mm (0.75 in) and the
left margin to 18 mm (0.7 in). If you are using 8$\tfrac12$~in $\times$
11 in paper, set the right margin to 18 mm (0.7 in) and the bottom
margin to 19 mm (0.75 in). If you are using A4 paper, set the right
margin to 12 mm and the bottom margin to 37 mm. This gives a column
length of 24 cm (9.5 in). The column width is 88 mm (3.45 in). 
The space between the two columns is 5 mm (0.2 in). Paragraph
indentation is about 3.5 mm (0.14 in).

Left- and right-justify your columns. Adjust spacing between text
and section headings, tables, or figures to obtain equal lengths for
adjacent columns. Do not use a line of space between paragraphs. On
the last page of your paper, try to adjust the lengths of the two
columns so that they are the same. Use automatic hyphenation and
check spelling. Either digitize your figures or paste them on the
page; do not submit oversized figures.


A sample \TeX\ file, together with a \LaTeX\ style file that
incorporates most of these instructions, can be obtained by sending
e-mail to help@ep.ieee.org with no message.

\subsubsection{Submission of paper for review}

At the review stage, prepare your paper according to these instructions,
except use {\it one-column} format, to allow room for referee comments.

\section{Units}

Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are strongly
encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary units (in
parentheses). An exception is when English units are used as
identifiers in trade, such as ``3$\tfrac12$-in disk drive.'' Avoid
combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic
field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because equations
do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly
state the units for each quantity in an equation.

\section{Helpful Hints}

\subsection{Figures and Tables}

Position figures and tables at the tops and bottoms of columns. Avoid
placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may
span both columns. Clear photocopies are acceptable for line
drawings. Place figure captions below the figures; place table
captions above the tables. Avoid placing figures and tables before
their first mention in the text. Use the abbreviation ``Fig.'' even
at the beginning of a sentence. Do not abbreviate ``Table.'' Tables
are numbered with Roman numerals. Color printing of figures is
available, but is billed to the authors (approximately \$1300).
Contact your conference editor if you require color printing.
Otherwise, use black-and-white figures.

Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Use words rather
than symbols. As an example, write the quantity ``Magnetization,''
or ``Magnetization, $M$,'' not just ``$M$''. Put units in
parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the example,
write ``Magnetization (A/m)'' or ``Magnetization
(A$\cdot$m$^{-1}$),'' not just ``A/m.'' Do not label axes with a
ratio of quantities and units. For example, write ``Temperature
(K),'' not ``Temperature/K.'' Multipliers can be especially
confusing. Write ``Magnetization (kA/m)'' or ``Magnetization ($10^3$
A/m).'' Do not write ``Magnetization (A/m) $\times$ 1000'' because
the reader would not know whether the top axis label in Fig.\ 1 meant
15000 A/m or 0.015 A/m. Figure labels should be legible,
approximately 10-point type.

\subsection{References}

Number citations consecutively in square brackets \cite{ref1}. The
sentence punctuation follows the brackets \cite{ref2}. Multiple
references \cite{ref2,ref3} are each numbered with separate brackets
\cite{ref1,ref2,ref3}. In sentences, refer simply to the reference
number, as in \cite{ref3}. Do not use ``Ref.\ [3]'' or ``reference
[3]'' except at the beginning of a sentence: ``Reference [3] shows
\dots''

Number footnotes separately in superscripts.\footnote{It is
recommended that footnotes be avoided (except for the unnumbered
footnote with the receipt date on the first page). Instead, try to
integrate the footnote information into the text. Do not use a line
to separate footnotes from the text.}
%
Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it is 
cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for 
table footnotes (see Table~I).

{\it IEEE Transactions\/} no longer use a journal prefix before the
volume number. For example, use ``{\it IEEE Trans.\ Magn.\/}, vol.
25,'' not ``vol.\ MAG-25.'' Note that IEEE referencing style is quite
different from that used by most physics journals.

Give all authors' names; do not use ``et al.'' unless there are six
authors or more. Use a space after authors' initials. Papers that
have not been published, even if they have been submitted for
publication, should be cited as ``unpublished'' \cite{ref4}. Papers
that have been accepted for publication should be cited as ``in
press'' \cite{ref5}. Please give affiliations and addresses for
personal communications \cite{ref6}.

Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, expect for proper
nouns and element symbols. If you are short of space, you may omit
paper titles. However, paper titles are helpful to your readers and
strongly recommended. For papers published in translation journals,
please give the English citation first, followed by the original
foreign-language citation \cite{ref7}.


\begin{figure}[t] \vspace{2.7in} \caption{Magnetization as a function
of applied field. Note that ``Fig.'' is abbreviated. There is a
period after the figure number. It is good practice to explain the
significance of a figure in the caption.} \end{figure}


\subsection{Abbreviations and Acronyms}

Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the
text, even after they have already been defined in the abstract.
Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have
to be defined. Abbreviations that incorporate periods should not have
spaces; write ``C.N.R.S.'' or ``U.S.A.,'' not ``C. N. R. S.'' or ``U.
S. A.'' Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are
unavoidable (for example, IEEE in the title of this article).

\subsection{Equations}

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses
flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make your equations more
compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or
appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and
variables, but not Greek symbols. Use a long (en) dash rather than a
hyphen for a minus sign. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in
denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they
are part of a sentence, as in 
%

\setlength{\arraycolsep}{0pt}
% changing \arraycolsep reduces excess space for wrap-around
% equation
\begin{eqnarray}
%
\int_{0}^{r_2} && F(r,\phi)\ dr\ d\phi =
  \left[ \sigma r_2 / \left(2\mu_0 \right)\right] \nonumber \\
&& \cdot \int_{0}^{\infty} \exp{\left(-\lambda |z_j-z_i|\right)}
   \lambda^{-1} J_1(\lambda r_2) J_0(\lambda r_i)\ d\lambda .
%
\end{eqnarray}

%
 Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been
defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Refer
to ``(1),'' not ``Eq.\ (1)'' or ``equation (1),'' except at the
beginning of a sentence:\ ``Equation (1) is \dots''

\subsection{Other Recommendations}

Do not publish ``preliminary'' data or results. Usually it is not
appropriate to advertise ``future work'' that you intend to do. The
Roman numerals used to number the section headings are optional. If
you do use them, begin with {\sc I.\ Introduction}, but do not number
{\sc Acknowledgment} or {\sc References}; use letters for
Subheadings. Avoid placing ``orphan'' section headings at the bottom
of a column.

Use {\em one\/} space after periods and colons if you are using a
proportional typeface. Hyphenate complex modifiers:
``zero-field-cooled magnetization.''

Avoid dangling participles, such as, ``Using (1), the potential was
calculated.'' [Did the potential use (1)?] Write instead, ``The
potential was calculated by using (1),'' or ``Using (1), we
calculated the potential.''

Use a zero before decimal points:\ ``0.25,'' not ``.25.'' Use
``cm$^3$,'' not ``cc.'' Indicate sample dimensions as ``0.1 cm
$\times$ 0.2 cm,'' not ``0.1 $\times$ 0.2 cm$^2$.'' Do not mix
complete spellings and abbreviations of units:\ use ``Wb/m$^2$'' or
``webers per square meter,'' not ``webers/m$^2$.''

A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated
outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical {\em
sentence\/} is punctuated within the parentheses.) In American
English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like ``this
period.'' Other punctuation is ``outside''!  It is acceptable to use
British punctuation and spelling variations. Note that the preferred
British spelling of ``magnetization'' is with a ``z,'' not an ``s.''
If your native language is not English, please get a native
English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper.

Label each page at the top, right corner with your paper number and
page count:\ ``AB-01, 1/3,'' ``AB-01, 2/3,'' etc. Use light blue
(``nonphoto'') pencil.

\section{Some Common Mistakes}

The word ``data'' is plural, not singular. The subscript for the
permeability of vacuum $\mu_0$ is zero, not a lowercase letter ``o.''
A graph within a graph is an ``inset,'' not an ``insert.'' The word
``alternatively'' is preferred to the word ``alternately'' (unless
you really mean something that alternates). Do not use the word
``essentially'' to mean ``approximately'' or ``effectively.''

Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones ``affect'' and
``effect,'' ``complement'' and ``compliment,'' ``discreet'' and
``discrete,'' ``principal'' and ``principle.'' Do not confuse
``imply'' and ``infer.''

The prefix ``non'' is not a word; it should be joined to the word it
modifies, usually without a hyphen. There is no period after the
``et'' in the Latin abbreviation ``et al.'' The abbreviation ``i.e.''
means ``that is,'' and the abbreviation ``e.g.'' means ``for
example.'' An excellent style manual and source of information for
science writers is [8].

\section{Editorial Policy}

Submission of a manuscript is {\em not\/} required for participation
in a conference. Do not submit a reworked version of a paper you
have submitted or published elsewhere. The submitting author is
responsible for obtaining agreement of all coauthors and any consent
required from sponsors before submitting a paper.

The {\it IEEE Transactions on Magnetics\/} does not publish
conference records or proceedings. The {\it Transactions\/} does
publish papers {\em related\/} to conferences on basic and applied
magnetics that have been recommended for publication on the basis of
peer review. As a matter of convenience and service to the technical
community, these topical papers are collected and published in one
issue of the {\it Transactions\/} from author-prepared copy.

At least two reviews are required for every paper submitted. The
decision to accept or reject a paper is made by the conference
editors and publications committee; the recommendations of the
referees are advisory only. Undecipherable English is a valid reason
for rejection. Authors of rejected papers may revise and resubmit
them to the {\it Transactions\/} as regular papers, whereupon they
will be reviewed by two new referees.

\section*{Appendix}

Appendixes, if needed, appear before the acknowledgment. The
reference list is the last section of the paper; do not put figures
or appendixes after the references.

\section*{Acknowledgment}

The preferred spelling of the word ``acknowledgment'' in American
English is without an ``e'' after the ``g.'' Use the singular heading
even if you have multiple acknowledgments. Avoid the stilted
expression, ``One of us \noindent (S.B.A.) 
thanks \dots'' Instead, write ``S.B.A. thanks \dots'' Put sponsor 
acknowledgments in the unnumbered footnote on the first page.
