ANNOUNCEMENT — phasing in of article publication charges
Acta Physica Polonica A is going to introduce article publication charges at a minimum level that will allow us to continue to maintain the journal for the community. The charge will apply for published manuscripts submitted from 1 June 2025 and will be 400 Euros/1600 PLN per paper not longer than 10 printed pages and 25 Euros/100 PLN per each additional page. It will be possible to waive the publication charge upon request for manuscripts submitted during the transition period, i.e., from June 1, 2025 till December 31, 2025, but the manuscript will be then processed at a lower priority and its publication may be delayed by up to three months.

The paper of the month, chosen by the Editor-in-Chief, is "Tuning the Electronic and Transport Properties of Penta-Graphene" by M. Balvasi and A. Avazpour;
DOI: 10.12693/APhysPolA.147.124
There are numerous forms of carbon structures, starting from diamond, graphite, graphene and others. Other forms of carbon structures are possible, it is expected that they can lead to interesting applications. The present article is devoted to the study of the electronic properties of a not synthetized yet metastable form of carbon-penta-graphene. A nanoribbon geometry is considered in which the geometric quantization leads to the appearance of the band gap, the width of which may be adjusted. The system has additional defects (vacancies) and can be subjected to external electric fields. In this way, a desired band structure, like e.g. transition from direct to skew band near the Fermi level, can be achieved. Although penta-graphene is still a hypothetical material, this article can stimulate further research towards the successive synthesis of penta-graphene.
