The class uses the environments and commandsdefined in LATEX kernel without any change in the signature so that clashes withother contributed LATEX packages such , , etc., willbe primarily built upon the The classdepends on the following packages for its proper openstar in the title footnotes; citation processing; margin settings; left aligned equations; graphics inclusion; font package, if document is to be formatted with Timesand compatible math fonts; packages if hyperlinking is required in the the above packages are part of any standard LATEX installation.

When we compile LATEX it provides the class file, stripping off all the documen-tation from the*.dtxfile. The class may be moved or copied to a place, usually,$TEXMF/tex/latex/ Elsevier /, or a folder which will be read by LATEX during doc-ument compilation. The TEX file database needs updation after moving/copyingclass file. Usually, we use commands likemktexlsrortexhashdepending uponthe distribution and operating system.

This is always single column style.(4)3p formats the article to the look and feel of the final format of model3+ journals. If the journal is a two column model , usetwocolumnoption incombination.(5)5p formats for model 5+ journals. This is always two column style.(6)authoryear author-year citation style If you want to addextra options , you may use the options as a comma delimitedstrings as argument to\biboptionscommand. An example would be:\biboptions{longnamesfirst,angle,semi colon}(7)number numbered citation style.

The evanescent field of the resonant whispering gallery mode (WGM)of the micro sphere has a substantial gradient, and therefore effectively coupleswith the quadrupole 1 Sexcitons in cuprous oxide.

7 This evanescent polariton hasa long life-time, which is determined only by its excitonic and WGM polariton lower branch has a well pronounced minimum. This suggests thatthis excitation is localized and can be utilized for possible BEC. The spatialcoherence of the polariton can be improved by assembling the micro-spheresinto a linear words:quadrupole exciton, polariton, WGM, BEC1. IntroductionAlthough quadrupole excitons (QE) in cuprous oxide crystals are good can-didates for BEC due to their narrow line-width and long life-time there aresome factors impeding BECK avoulakis and Baym(1996);Roslyak and Birman(2007).
