Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spin manipulation is the key to the next-generation spintronic devices that can process information faster with higher energy efficiency and better recoverability. Most digital information today is encoded in the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials for spintronics applications.
The demand for magnetic memory for ever-increasing storage space fuels continuous research for energy-efficient manipulation of magnetism at miniature scales. Conventional current-driven spintronics inevitably suffers from the heating issue (ultrahigh current density), limiting device minimization and increasing energy consumption.
At present, the technologies of voltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) and light control (including laser light, polarized light, and visible light) of spintronics hold great promise compared to conventional current-driven methods. Papers that exhibit the potential to achieve the modulation of spin states effectively in an energy-efficient manner are welcome.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
