Permission for other use

Permission is granted to quote from the journal with the customary acknowledgment of the source. Republication of an article or portions thereof (e.g., extensive excerpts, figures, tables, etc.) in original form or in translation, as well as other types of reuse (e.g., in course packs) require formal permission from AIP and may be subject to fees. As a courtesy, the author of the original journal article should be informed of any request for republication/reuse.

Obtaining permissions and payment of fees

Using Rightslink®: AIP has partnered with the Copyright Clearance Center to offer Rightslink, a convenient online service that streamlines the permissions process. Rightslink allows users to instantly obtain permissions and pay any related fees for reuse of copyrighted material, directly from AIP’s website. Once licensed, the material may be reused legally, according to the terms and conditions set forth in each unique license agreement.

To use the service, access the article you wish to license on our site and simply click on the Tools icon in the abstract, then select the Permissions/Reprints link. If you have questions about Rightslink, click on the link as described, then click the "Help" button located in the top right-hand corner of the Rightslink page.
