I have the following:
\documentclass[prb,twocolumn,showpacs,preprintnumbers,amsmath,amssymb,float]{revtex4}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[t]
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image}
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image}
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image}
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image}
\caption{...}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
Now, I am not happy with the arrangement of figures, so I decide to use \rput in order to move figures around as I wish. Such that:
\documentclass[prb,twocolumn,showpacs,preprintnumbers,amsmath,amssymb,float]{revtex4}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[t]
\rput[tr](-0.45\columnwidth,0.45\columnwidth){\includegraphics[width=3cm]{fig_1}}
\rput[tr](-0.45\columnwidth,0.45\columnwidth){\includegraphics[width=3cm]{fig_2}}
\rput[tr](-0.45\columnwidth,0.45\columnwidth){\includegraphics[width=3cm]{fig_3}}
\rput[tr](-0.45\columnwidth,0.45\columnwidth){\includegraphics[width=3cm]{fig_4}}
\caption{...}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
But this a mess because there is "no room allocated" for the figures. Is there something like an empty box I could put, and then put my figures on top of this empty box?
Thank you.

You don't say exactly what layout you want, but here I used
\centering
to centre the image block in the column, and added a bit of vertical and horizontal space, no special commands or packages are needed here, images can be positioned exactly the same way as letters.If you need to adjust individual figures you can use for example
to raise it or
to move it to the right.
or any other LaTeX construct (none of the positioning commands are specific to image inclusion).
