A. Paper Identification Line
     The session and paper identification is placed in the header block.This number can be found on the Presentation Schedule. An example is 1.1-1
The "Header" font is Arial, 22 point, bold and is left justified.

B. Title line
     The title is enclosed in a centered frame of 6.5-inch width with 0.13 spacing from the text. This permits the title to span both columns of the two-column layout for the paper. The "Title" font is Times New Roman, regular, 24 pt and is centered.
     Paper titles should be written Title Case, not all UPPERCASE. Avoid writing long formulas with subscripts in the title; short formulas that identify the elements are fine (e.g., "Au-Ag-Cu"). Do not write "(Invited)" in the title. Do not begin a title with the word "On ... ."

C. Authors
     The author list is enclosed in a centered frame of 6.3-inch width with 0.13 spacing from the text to span both columns. Full names of authors are preferred in the author field, but are not required. Put a space between authors' initials. Recognition of IEEE membership is noted by following the member author's name (see the entry for T. C. Author, above) with the member grade in italics (MemberType style).
     The authors' affiliation is placed on the lines below the authors' names. The company or university, city, state and country are appropriate entries.
     The "Authors" font style is Times New Roman, 11 pt, justified. Specifying a line spacing with 16 extra points following the line automatically provides space below the author line. The "Member Type" font style is the same except for the italic type.

D. Abstract
The paper abstract appears in the first column at the top.

     The abstract font style is Times New Roman, 9pt, bold, justified. The first line is indented 0.14 inch and the line spacing is normal with 1 extra point before. Bolding is turned off for the header (Abstract - ), which appears in italics.

E. Sponsorship recognition
     The footnote in column one provides for recognition of a sponsoring agency other than an author's employer. In this template, positioning of the footnote section at the bottom of the first column is controlled by the footnote reference (unnumbered) in the blank line above the abstract. Warning - deleting the blank line may misplace the footnote.
     The "Footnote Text" font is Times New Roman, 9pt, bold, justified. The first line is indented 0.14 inch and the line spacing has an extra 1 point before. Bolding is turned off for the header (Index Terms -), which appears in italics.

F. Headings
     The headings provide outline organization for the paper. Heading font styles are Times New Roman, 10 pt. with numbering running I., A., 1), a), (1), (a) etc. (see the pull down style menu in the MSWord format toolbar for other levels of heading). Heading level 1 is regular centered and small caps while Heading 2 and Heading 3 are italic, left justified with indents of 0.1 inch and 0.2 inch respectively.
     Line spacing of Heading 1 is increased by 12 points preceding and 4 points following while Heading 2 is increased by 6 points preceding and 3 points following. Heading 3 has normal line spacing.

G. Acknowledgment
     Contributors that are not authors should be recognized in this section.

     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 many acknowledgments.
     Avoid expressions such as "One of us (S.B.A.) would like to thank ... ." Instead, write "S.B.A. thanks ... ." Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered footnote on the first page.

H. References
     References are best described by example. The following rules are demonstrated by the associated reference in the following section EXAMPLES OF REFERENCE STYLES. Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the brackets [2]. Multiple references [2], [3] are each numbered with separate brackets [1]-[3]. When citing a section in a book, please give the relevant page numbers [2]. In sentences, refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]. Do not use "Ref. [3]" or "reference [3]" except at the beginning of a sentence: "Reference [3] shows ... ."
     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

printer driver from http://www.adobe.com/ support/downloads/pdrvwin.htm (for Windows) or from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/pdrvmac.htm (for Macintosh) and install the "Generic PostScript Printer" definition.

4) Other Ways
     Experienced computer users can convert figures and tables from their original format to TIFF. Some useful image converters are Adobe PhotoShop, Corel Draw, and Microsoft Photo Editor, an application that is part of Microsoft Office 97 and Office 2000 (look for C:\Program Files\Common Files\ Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\PHOTOED.EXE. (You may have to custom-install Photo Editor from your original Office disk.)
     Most graphing programs allow you to save graphs in TIFF; however, you often have no control over compression or number of bits per pixel. You should open these image files in a program such as Microsoft Photo Editor and re-save them using no compression, either 1 or 8 bits, and either 600 or 220 dpi resolution (File | Properties; Image | Resize). If your graphing program cannot export to TIFF, you can use the same technique described for tables in the previous paragraph.
     A way to convert a figure from Windows Metafile (WMF) to TIFF is to paste it into Microsoft PowerPoint, save it in JPG or JPEG format, open it with Microsoft Photo Editor or similar converter, and re-save it as TIFF.
     Microsoft Excel allows you to save spreadsheet charts in Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). To get good resolution, make the Excel charts very large. Then use the "Save as HTML" feature (see http://support.microsoft.com/support/ kb/articles/q158/0/79.asp). You can then convert from GIF to TIFF using Microsoft Photo Editor, for example.
     No matter how you convert your images, it is a good idea to print the TIFF files to make sure nothing was lost in the conversion.
     If you have a question about formatting your paper, or a suggestion on improving these instructions, please contact Hans Baumgartner (h.baumgartner@ieee.org) (tel: 619-291-0412) (fax: 619-501-4267).
     If you modify this document for use with other IEEE journals or conferences, you should save it as type "Word 97-2000 & 6.0/95 - RTF (*.doc)" so that it can be opened by any version of Word.

     If you are using Word, use either the Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on (http://www.mathtype.com) for equations in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New | Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). "Float over text" should not be selected.

     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

A. Figures and Tables
     Large figures and tables may span both columns. Place figure captions below the figures; place table titles above the tables. If your figure has two parts, for example, include the labels "(a)" and "(b)" as part of the artwork. Please verify that figures and tables that you mention in the text actually exist. Use the abbreviation "Fig." even at the beginning of a sentence. Do not abbreviate "Table." Tables are numbered with Roman numerals.
     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. As in Fig. 1, for example, write "Magnetization (A/m)" or "Magnetization (A 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."


Fig. 1. Magnetization as a function of applied field. Note that "Fig." is abbreviated. There is a period after the figure number, followed by two spaces. It is good practice to explain the significance of the figure in the caption.

     Multipliers can be especially confusing. Write "Magnetization (kA/m)" or "Magnetization (103 A/m)." Do not write "Magnetization (A/m) ´ 1000" because the reader would not know whether the top axis label in Fig. 1 meant 16000 A/m or 0.016 A/m. Figure labels should be legible,approximately 8 to 12 point type.
     Mechanically, Fig. 1 is an image inserted in a text box. The text box is anchored to the blank line between the paragraphs so that it moves with the text.

Tables can also be entered into text boxes. This technique is demonstrated in Table I.

There is no need for vertical lines in a table.



B. 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, ac, and dc do not have to be defined. Abbreviations that incorporate periods should not have spaces: write "C.N.R.S.," not "C. N. R. S." Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable (for example, "IEEE" in the title of this article).

C. Equations
     Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). First use the equation editor to create the equation. Then select the "Equation" markup style. Press the tab key and write the equation number in parentheses. To make your equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations when they are part of a sentence, as in

     Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature, but T is the unit tesla). Refer to "(1)," not "Eq. (1)" or "equation (1)," except at the beginning of a sentence: "Equation (1) is ... ."

D. Other Recommendations
     Use one space after periods and colons. Hyphenate complex

modifiers: "zero-field-cooled magnetization." Avoid dangling participles, such as, "Using (1), the potential was calculated." [It is not clear who or what used (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 "cm3," not "cc." Indicate sample dimensions as "0.1 cm ´ 0.2 cm," not "0.1 ´ 0.2 cm2." The abbreviation for "seconds" is "s," not "sec." Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: use "Wb/m2" or "webers per square meter," not "webers/m2." When expressing a range of values, write "7 to 9" or "7-9," not "7~9."
     A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like "this period." Other punctuation is "outside"! Avoid contractions; for example, write "do not" instead of "don't." The serial comma is preferred: "A, B, and C" instead of "A, B and C."
     If you wish, you may write in the first person singular or plural and use the active voice ("I observed that ..." or "We observed that ..." instead of "It was observed that ..."). Remember to check spelling. If your native language is not English, please get a native English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper.

     The word "data" is plural, not singular. The subscript for the permeability of vacuum µ0 is zero, not a lowercase letter "o." The term for residual magnetization is "remanence"; the adjective is "remanent"; do not write "remnance" or "remnant." Use the word "micrometer" instead of "micron." 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). Use the word "whereas" instead of "while" (unless you are referring to simultaneous events). Do not use the word "essentially" to mean "approximately" or "effectively." Do not use the word "issue" as a euphemism for "problem." When compositions are not specified, separate chemical symbols by hyphens; for example, "NiMn" indicates the intermetallic compound Ni0.5Mn0.5 whereas "Ni-Mn" indicates an alloy of some composition NixMn1-x.
     Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones "affect" (usually a verb) and "effect" (usually a noun), "complement" and "compliment," "discreet" and "discrete," "principal" (e.g., "principal investigator") and "principle" (e.g., "principle of measurement"). Do not confuse "imply" and "infer."
     Prefixes such as "non," "sub," "micro," and "ultra" are not independent words; they should be joined to the words they modify, 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."

The ICCE is indebted to the IEEE Transaction on Magnetics for their fine effort on developing the template tramsmag.doc, which served as the model for this template. Their template can be found at http://www.ieee.org/ organizations/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.htm.

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 many acknowledgments. Avoid expressions such as "One of us (S.B.A.) would like to thank ... ." Instead, write "S.B.A. thanks ... ." Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered footnote on the first page.
