:*''Zeitschrift für Physik A'' (1975–1997). The original subtitle was ''Atoms and Nuclei'' (). In 1986, it split into ''Zeitschrift für Physik A: Atomic Nuclei'' () and ''Zeitschrift für Physik D: Atoms, Molecules and Clusters''. ''Zeitschrift für Physik A'' continues as the ''
European Physical Journal A''.
:*''Zeitschrift für Physik B'' (1975–1997) resulted from the split of ''Zeitschrift für Physik'' and the merger of ''
Physics of Condensed Matter'' (). ''Physics of Condensed Matter'' was itself the continuation of ''
