Leave one blank line above and below the abstract. The abstract should be indented by 13 mm on both sides compared to the width of the main text. The recommended length is 4-6 lines (approx 50-70 words). Make sure that it is punchy, concise and informative.

1. Introduction

If you work with this MS Word template, there should be no need to worry about the page layout, font size and/or spacing but should you need all these details, note the following: A4 sheets with 2.5cm margins on all sides. Single spacing is used throughout. Use a Roman font (such as Times or Times New). Heading is 14pt bold, titlecase and centred with a 14pt space above. Text elsewhere is usually 12pt. Leave one line between the heading and author list, which is also in title case and centred. In the case of authors from multiple institutions, superscripts a, b, c, … after the author names should be used. For authors on leave or now located elsewhere, use numbered footnotes as indicated in the example. Single blank line above the affiliations, which should be centred, in italics, with each new affiliation beginning on a new line.

Section headings in bold, numbered and the leading word indented to 1.0 cm. Subordinate section headings also numbered but not bold. Leave one blank line before section headings. All text paragraphs will have first line indented to 1 cm but no blank line between paragraphs. Single space after a full stop at end of sentences. Text paragraphs should be justified.

2. Sample preparation

Manuscripts are limited to four pages (six pages for invited speakers), including all diagrams, tables, references and acknowledgments. All papers will be formally refereed and must contain sufficient new material to warrant publication. We wish to ensure that Web-published refereed papers for the Wagga meetings continue to be an easy and valuable means of rapid and brief communication of recent results. Copyright remains with the authors and the work may be modified for later incorporation as part of a regular journal article.

3. Results

Submitting authors should bring to the conference three hard copies of the completed paper plus a copyable electronic version in Word format. After refereeing, accepted papers will become downloadable in PDF format from the Publications link of the AIP Website.

3.1 XRD Analysis

Figures and tables should be incorporated in the body of the text as near as possible to the appropriate place. In introducing a figure or table in the text, use the notation Fig. 1, Table 1, etc. Leave one blank line between the centred, 12pt, table caption and the table and one blank line between the table and the following text. Tables should have horizontal lines at the top, bottom and under the column headings, no vertical lines. Tables should be either centred or with text run around (only for narrow tables).

Table 1. Parameters from least squares fits to the spectra.

Column 1 / Column 2 / Column 3

Text may be run beside narrow figures. Leave one blank line above each figure. Figure caption in 10pt should be centred and placed immediately beneath the figure.

3.2. Insert symbol – MS Word problems

The IOP website recommends that you avoid using Word’s ‘Insert Symbol’ command. Symbols inserted in this way may not appear in the PDF file of your article—they often ‘drop out’. Instead, for example, to type Greek characters, type the corresponding Latin character (e.g., ‘a’ for ‘a’) and manually change the font to Symbol using Format → Font and then select ‘Symbol’ font. Also avoid using the Word automatic referencing system.
