Purposes and themes
The RCF is a journal focused in the fields of Physics. The original articles included in the journal are supposed to deal with the following subjects:

• General Physics: Statistical and Quantum Mechanics, etc.
• Gravitation and Astrophysics.
• Elementary Particles and Fields.
• Nuclear Physics.
• Atomic, Molecular and Optics Physics.
• Non-Linear Dynamics, Dynamics of Fluids, etc.
• Plasma Physics and Light Beams.
• Condensed matter: Structure, Opto-Electronic Properties, etc.
• Complex Systems
• Interdisciplinary Physics: Biophysics, etc.
• Teaching of Physics.

Exceptionally, other contributions non-related with these subjects may be considered. However, in all cases the manuscripts should exhibit original results following the essentials of the so-called scientific method
