Tips for LaTeX
- do not forget the use of {} to remove unwanted blanks in equations. For instance, there is a difference between <math>\vert{\uparrow\downarrow}\rangle</math> and <math>\vert\uparrow\downarrow\rangle</math>.
\vert{\uparrow\downarrow}\rangle and not \vert\uparrow\downarrow\rangle
- one can give the path for the directory containing the figures using
\graphicspath{{../Figures/},{../plots/}}
Bibliography
The best strategy with revtex is to use a references.bib file containing all references (see managing bibliography) and to include them using the apsrev4-1 bibliography style that will format correctly the bibitems: <source lang="tex">
\bibliographystyle{apsrev4-1}
\bibliography{references}
</source> Then, the compilation creates a .bbl file with the correctly ordered references. If you want to merge some bibitems, you can include by hand the .bbl file at the place of the bibliography and reshape your bibitems (and corresponding \cite{}) at will.
However, you may find that the output in the bbl file is unreadable. Here are some .bst files, alternative to apsrev4-1.bst, which produces plain vanilla bibitem in the Phys. Rev.
<source lang="tex">
\bibitem{Dagotto1994}
E.~Dagotto, Rev. Mod. Phys. {\bf 66}, 763 (1994).
