Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/article-withdrawal).
This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor.
Post-publication, it came to the attention of the journal that the authors did not obtain the necessary approval from the journal editor for the addition of a new author and a change to the author order, which is contrary to the journal policy on changes to authorship. In addition, the newly added author (Dr. C.A. Duque) had been suggested as a reviewer by the authors at the submission stage. The editor reached out to the authors for an explanation to the above points, but they failed to provide a satisfactory explanation.
Overall, the editor believes that adding a new author at the revision stage without obtaining the necessary approval from the journal editor is contrary to the journal policies and decided to retract the paper.
期刊介绍:
Physics Letters A offers an exciting publication outlet for novel and frontier physics. It encourages the submission of new research on: condensed matter physics, theoretical physics, nonlinear science, statistical physics, mathematical and computational physics, general and cross-disciplinary physics (including foundations), atomic, molecular and cluster physics, plasma and fluid physics, optical physics, biological physics and nanoscience. No articles on High Energy and Nuclear Physics are published in Physics Letters A. The journal''s high standard and wide dissemination ensures a broad readership amongst the physics community. Rapid publication times and flexible length restrictions give Physics Letters A the edge over other journals in the field.
