Physica is a Dutch series of peer-reviewed, scientific journals of physics by Elsevier.
It started out in 1921 as a journal of the Nederlandse Natuurkundige Vereniging (Netherlands Physical Society) that published mostly in Dutch. In 1934 it was taken over by the North-Holland Publishing Company, keeping the same name but with a new volume numbering.
The single journal Physica was split in a three-part series in 1975 (Physica A, Physica B, Physica C). Physica D was created in 1980, and Physica E in 1998. It was published in Utrecht until 2007, and is now published in Amsterdam by Elsevier.

Physica B was created in 1975 as a result of the splitting of Physica in 1975. It is concerned with condensed matter physics and its applications, particularly solid state and low-temperature physics. Some conference proceedings are published in special editions of Physica B.
Physica B is published by Elsevier on an at-least monthly basis (12 times per year, sometimes more).
Physica C created in 1975 as a result of the splitting of Physica in 1975. It is a "rapid communications" type of journal, concerned with the topic superconductivity, superconductive materials, and connected phenomena.
Physica C is published by Elsevier, two or three times per month.
Physica D was created in 1980 as an expansion of the Physica series. It is concerned with nonlinear physics and nonlinear phenomena in general.
Physica D is published by Elsevier on a bimonthly basis (24 times a year).
