Abstract—These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for IEEE Magnetics Letters. Use this document
as a template if you are using Microsoft Word. Otherwise, use this document just for helpful information, and prepare
your paper using any word processor or LaTeX. This template is useful for estimating the length of an article (up to 4
pages are allowed) but it is optional. The electronic file of your paper will be formatted further at IEEE. Paper titles
should be written in uppercase and lowercase letters. Avoid writing long formulas with subscripts in the title; short
formulas that identify the elements are fine (e.g., “Nd-Fe-B”). Do not begin a title with the word “On.” Avoid starting a
title with articles like “The.” Full names of authors are much preferred but initials may be used instead. Department
names are optional in the affiliations. Do not give street addresses in the affiliations (except for authors with no
institutional affiliation). Define all symbols used in the abstract, and again in the text. Do not cite references in the
abstract.
Index Terms—Approximately four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas. The first one must be the
article’s main subject, which also appears at the top of this page in red. Main subjects include Electromagnetics, Magnetism in Solids,
Biomagnetics, Magnetochemistry, Magneto-Electronics, Spin Electronics, Magnetodynamics, Nanomagnetics, Information Storage,
Soft Magnetic Materials, Hard Magnetic Materials, Coupled Phenomena, and Magnetic Instruments. More details are available at
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/maglet-ieee. For a full list of IEEE index terms, send a blank e-mail to keywords@ieee.org or go to

INTRODUCTION
This document is a Microsoft Word template for IEEE
Magnetics Letters. Use of this document as a template is
optional. If you are reading a paper version of this document,
please download the electronic file, MAGLET.DOCX, from
http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/ so you
can use it to prepare your manuscript. If you would prefer to
use LaTeX, download IEEE’s LaTeX style and sample files,
IEEEtran.zip, from the same Web page. Use those LaTeX
files for formatting, but please follow the instructions in
MAGLET.DOCX (or MAGLET.PDF).
Authors may prepare their papers for review using any
word processor, one or two columns, single or double spaced.
Please follow the writing style specified in this document. Most
authors will find it convenient to use Microsoft Word and this
template or LaTeX and the files contained in IEEEtran.zip.
When you open MAGLET.DOCX, select “Print Layout”
from the “View” menu in the menu bar (View > Print Layout).
Corresponding author: F. A. Author (f.author@nist.gov).
Digital Object Identifier: 10.1109/ML.2010.2010123 (inserted by
IEEE).
Then type over sections of MAGLET.DOCX or cut and paste
from another document and then use markup styles (Home >
Styles). For example, the style at this point in the document is
“Text”). Highlight a section that you want to designate with a
certain style; then select the appropriate name on the style
menu. The style will adjust your fonts and line spacing. Use
italics for emphasis; do not underline. Selected for improved
legibility on a computer monitor, the font used for Magnetics
Letters is Arial or Helvetica.
Even though a Letter is limited to 4 pages, please use up
to two levels of section headings, which will improve the
readability of most articles.
To insert images in Word, position the cursor at the
insertion point and either use Insert > Picture or copy the
image to the Windows clipboard and then Home > Paste.
IEEE will do the final formatting of your paper, so do not worry
about precisely positioning figures and tables. In fact, they are
best placed at the end of the paper, with the proper insertion
points indicated in the text.
If you have a question about formatting your paper, or a
suggestion on improving these instructions, please contact
r.goldfarb@ieee.org.
