Functional Magnetic Materials: Synthesis, Processing, Structure and Application

Dear Colleagues,

Functional magnetic materials find diverse applications in fields such as bioimaging, neuroimaging, drug delivery, magnetic storage, spintronics, and all-spin logic devices. However, as the proportion of renewable energy in total energy production increases, there is a growing need for devices that operate at high frequencies, for which existing materials may not meet the requirements.

The elemental composition and processing of magnetic materials play a crucial role in the determination of their crystallographic orientation and emerging microstructure. Effective processing methods are essential for creating components of various shapes and sizes. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the various processing techniques that could be applied; these include nanostructure preparation, topological state manipulation, and additive manufacturing, and the correlation of the resulting magnetic components, films, and nanostructures with their overall structure.

Due to the increasing demand for such materials, we welcome submissions from the research community that focus on the chemistry of magnetic materials chemistry, processing techniques, and the characterization of their properties. The submission of manuscripts that address the key properties of interest is encouraged.

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. Magnetochemistry 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 2700 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.
