Aims & Scope

Waves in Random and Complex Media (formerly Waves in Random Media) is a broad interdisciplinary journal that reports theoretical, applied and experimental research related to any wave phenomena.

The Journal is relevant to scientists and engineers working in the field of wave propagation, scattering and imaging in random or complex media. Papers on theoretical developments, experimental results and analytical/numerical studies are considered for publication as well as deterministic problems when also linked to random or complex media. Topics include studies of waves in random and/or complex media, such as tissue or metamaterials, nonlinear, chaotic or fractal media, as well as relevant inverse problems.

Examples are:

• Propagation, diffraction of classical waves
• Quantum and nonlinear effects in complex media
• Scattering and inverse scattering, backscattering enhancement, multiple scattering, rough surface and volume scattering
• Surface waves and surface excitation, including plasmonics
• Statistical properties of waves
• Electromagnetics of metamaterials and photonic bandgap structures
