History
The journal Applied Physics was originally conceived and founded in 1972 by Helmut K.V. Lotsch at Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg New York.Heinz Götze: der Springer-Verlag: Stationen seiner Geschichte, Teil 2: 1945-1992, Springer, 2008, S.331 Lotsch edited the journal up to volume 25 and split it thereafter into the two part A26(Solids and Surfaces) and B26(Photophysics and Laser Chemistry). He continued his editorship up to the volumes A61 and B61. Starting in 1995 the two journal parts were continued under separate editorships: Applied Physics B: Photophysics and Laser Chemistry ({{ISSN|0721-7269}}), in existence from September 1981 (volume B: 26 no. 1) to December 1993 (volume B: 57 no. 6) It partly continues Applied Physics ({{ISSN|0340-3793}}), in existence from January 1973 (volume 1 no. 1) to August 1981 (volume 25 no. 4).[http://cassi.cas.org/publication.jsp?P=LglBQf5Q2NQyz133K_ll3zLPXfcr-WXfbwxZX5Vn9Lb5mQM2hY0t4TLPXfcr-WXfimSBIkq8XcUjhmk0WtYxmzLPXfcr-WXfQkxsor-G3sgI5QWP4EUbNg CASSI].
