                  BYLINE ADDRESSES, FOOTNOTES TO THE BYLINE,
                             AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Byline addresses in the Physical Review and Physical Review Letters are
intended to indicate the institution where the research was done.
These addresses (usually consisting of department, institution, city,
state or country) are set directly under the names of the authors.

Footnotes to an author's name or address are intended to facilitate
locating or communicating with an author, for example by indicating
that an author's address has changed (either temporarily or
permanently).  In many cases, it can be helpful to identify an author
as ``spokesperson'' or ``author to whom correspondence should be
addressed.''   Footnotes giving email addresses of one or more
coresponding authors are strongly encouraged.

Information concerning financial support (funding agencies or programs)
is inappropriate in bylines and footnotes, and should be listed in the
Acknowledgment section.

The Acknowledgment section should be used for the recognition of those
contributing individuals and institutions who might otherwise go
unnoticed.  However, not all types of acknowledgments are appropriate
for journals such as the Physical Review and Physical Review Letters,
even though they may be quite appropriate for an internal report or for
a Ph.D. thesis.

For example, we do not include acknowledgments to those who may have
helped in the preparation of the manuscript itself (typists,
draftspersons, etc.), or to those who contributed general
encouragement or moral support (family, friends, etc.) or services that
were not directly a part of the research (grant coordinators, budget
directors, etc.).  We also do not print notices of fulfillment of
requirements for theses.  Examples of suitable acknowledgments are
thanks to other scientists for scientific guidance given in discussions
or by the communication of results, mention of technical assistants who
helped in the actual research, and citations of funding agencies that
sponsored the work.  Acknowledgments to individuals should be a simple
statement of thanks for help received and not a dedication or a memorial.

References to memberships, positions, titles, and awards are
inappropriate as are dates associated with the awards.  
Financial support should be acknowledged without mention of any title that
came with the funds, e.g., say ''A. B. acknowledges support from the 
Guggenheim Foundation''; do not say ''A. B. is a Guggenheim Fellow'' or
''A. B. was supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship.''
