BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ title of the \thebibliography section not showing

[dead]

I am trying, at the request of my professor, to include above my references a simple title: "References". I am using APS' revtex 4.1 class with the apsrev4-1 bib style. He uses word for his papers so he is no help at all with LaTeX. Here is my relevant latex code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[aps,secnumarabic,twocolumn,nobalancelastpage,amsmath,amssymb,nofootinbib,floatfix]{revtex4-1}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}

\bibliographystyle{apsrev4-1}

\renewcommand{\refname}{References}

then the title, abstract, body, etc.. and at the bottom:

Code: Select all

\bibliography{physics}

\end{document}

and physics.bib is obviously the name of my .bib file...

here is what the output at the bottom of the last page looks like...



As you can see there is no title for the references/bibliography.

Any help getting the bibliography title to appear would be much appreciated.

Maybe it's to late, but anyway: It depends on the class whether the bibliography starts with a title or not. For example, if you search for the definition of \thebibliography in article.cls, then you find that it always starts with
\section*{\refname}%
The class which you are using seems to use a horizontal bar as a separator for the bibliography.

So the easiest thing (apart from changing the class...) is to just write a similar command directly in your LaTeX-sources, right where you want it. Another possibility is to change the \thebibliography-environment, but that may be more difficult.
