Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your research work to our Special Issue “Fabrication, Properties, and Applications of Magnetic Thin Films”.
Magnetic thin films have attracted wide interest owing to their unique properties that do not occur in their bulk counterparts, such as perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, exchange bias, noncollinear magnetic textures, and others. These properties can be tailored via the adjustment of fabrication conditions, introducing structural changes, varying the thickness of individual layers, or creating defects in a controlled manner. This makes magnetic thin films an excellent material for many applications, including magnetic storage, sensors, spintronic devices, micro-mechanics, radio frequency components, and magneto-optical switches.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest experimental and computational developments in the research field of magnetic thin films, coatings, and multilayers. Research papers, communications, and review articles are welcome. The issue addresses the wide spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to technology and applications.
In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Influence of structure and morphology on magnetic properties of thin films;
- Magnetization reversal in thin films and multilayers;
- Thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy;
- Magnetic domains and domain walls in layered systems;
- Interfacial phenomena in ferro-, antiferro-, and ferrimagnetic films;
- Noncollinear magnetic textures in thin layers;
- Spin-canted thin films;
- Devices based on magnetic thin films;
- Advances in characterization of thin magnetic films.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
