Abstract: Each paper must include an abstract that provides a summary of the significant findings of the work including results and conclusions. The abstract should be no more than 500 words in length. The abstract should not contain literature citations. Define all nonstandard symbols and abbreviations. Do not replace the word “abstract,” but do replace the rest of this text. If you must insert a hard line break, please use Shift+Enter rather than just tapping your "Enter" key. The abstract is indented two spaces (0.2”) from the left and right margins. Use 9 point Times New Roman font, fully justified over both columns. You may want to print this page and refer to it as a style sample before you begin working on your paper.

Keywords: Do not replace the word “Keywords,” but do replace this text with3-8 relevant Keywords that describe the main topics of the research reported.

PACS: Replace this text with PACS numbers; choose from this list: http://www.aip.org/pacs/index.html

Introduction

(1st level heading, 12 point, all caps, bold, centered)

The introduction should clearly explain the nature and scope of the research as well as provide the reader with a roadmap of the rest of the paper. The first Heading of your manuscript must use the style “INTRODUCTION.” Otherwise, your paragraph spacing will be off.

Times New Roman 10 point font is used throughout the paper with single line spacing and the text is fully justified. Paragraph style: indent first line three spaces (0.19”); there is no extra line spacing between paragraphs. This is the standard font and layout for the individual paragraphs. The style is called "Paragraph." Replace this text with your text. The "Enter" key will take you to a new paragraph. If you need to insert a hard line break within the paragraph, please use Shift+Enter, rather than just tapping the "Enter" key.

The paper size is 8.5 × 11 inches. The overall text area (over both columns) will be 6.5 inches wide by 9 inches long. Each column measures 3.09 inches wide by 9 inches long. The space between the columns measures 0.32 inch and equal column width. EMBED ALL FONTS WHEN SAVING YOUR FILE.

This is the paragraph spacing that occurs when you use the Enter key.

other specifications

(1st level heading, 12 point, all caps, bold, centered)

Figures, tables, and equations must be inserted in the text and may not be grouped at the end of the paper. Important: miscounting of figures, tables, or equations may result from revisions. Please double check the numbering of these elements before you submit your paper to the volume editor.

Figures

(2nd level heading, 12 point, each initial letter capitalized, bold, centered)

Cite all figures in the text consecutively. The word “Figure” should be spelled out if it is the first word of the sentence and abbreviated as “Fig.” elsewhere in the text. Place the figures as close as possible to their first mention in the text at the top or bottom of the page with the figure caption positioned below, all centered.

Figure 1. Use 9 point font size for figure captions. Figures must be inserted in the text and may not follow the Reference section. Center figure captions if they run one line only. This is the Style for Figure Captions. Center this text if it doesn’t run for more than one line.

Figures must be inserted in the text and may not follow the Reference section. Set figure captions in 9 point size, Times New Roman font. Type the word “FIGURE 1.” in bold all caps, followed by a period. Each figure must include a caption. The caption should be the full width of the text area; if the caption runs shorter than the width, center the caption.

Color Figures

(3rd level heading, 10 point, each initial letter capitalized, italic, centered)

Beginning in 2013, color figures are allowable since the PERC Proceedings will be available only in an online format. However, authors are encouraged to check that the figures print in black and white without loss of clarity.

Footnotes

To insert a footnote, use the "Insert" menu, select "Footnote", and click "OK" Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the page where they are cited by superscript numbers. Place a ½ point rule 2 inches (50 mm) long above the footnote. Leave ¼ inch (6 mm) blank space above the rule and ⅛ inch (3 mm) blank space below the rule. (Most programs insert this automatically.) Set the footnote in 8 point Times New Roman font.

Equations

Make your equations clear and legible, centered, with a space above and below. Equations should be the same point size as the text, i.e., 10 point font. Place each equation on a separate line and number all equations sequentially. Enclose the equation number in parentheses and place it flush with the righthand margin. Equation (1) is an example of a one-line equation. Please double-check your equation numbering before submitting your paper to the volume editor. Please make sure to embed all fonts when saving your file so that special characters do not get lost.

Below is an example equation created with MathType. To move this equation, highlight the entire line, then use cut and paste to the new location. To use this as a template, select the entire line, then use copy and paste to place the equation in the new location.

Tables

Number tables in the text with Arabic numerals. Give each table a concise title and define any abbreviations in footnotes to the table. Place tables at the top or bottom of the page, close to where they are first cited. Center the table in the width of the text area. Fonts for the entire table are Times New Roman, 9 point size, including title and footnotes. Type the word “TABLE 1.” in bold, all caps, followed by a period. The table title should be in normal font, caps, and lower case. Margins used for this sample paper are indicated in Table 1. For a sample of a table spanning both columns, see Table 2.
