Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic nanostructures show varied unusual magnetic behavior when compared to bulk materials, mostly due to surface or interface effects, including symmetry breaking, electronic environment or charge transfer and magnetic interactions.
Size limitations in one, two and three dimensions have led to several important technological developments, with a wide range of applications, such as in high-density magnetic recording and the spintronic device industry or in biomedical applications.
Magnetic nanosystems can have a wide variety of morphologies, such as thin films, nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanodisks or nanorings, among others.
The magnetic state of nanostructures is the result of the equilibrium between competing magnetic anisotropies, exchange and dipole interactions and the applied magnetic field. This can give rise to several phenomena, such as exchange bias, skyrmions or magnetic instabilities, causing superparamagnetic effects in magnetic nanoparticles and nanostructures.
Traditionally, assembled nanostructures consist of planar arrays of nanomagnets, although recent trends show how this can be extended to three-dimensional structures, in which more complex magnetic configurations with unconventional spin textures are possible, leading to unprecedented magnetic properties. These new objects are referred to as three-dimensional nanomagnets and the new properties as 3D nanomagnetism.
In order to provide a balanced view of the current state of the discipline, this Special Issue invites contributions from leading groups in the field.

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.
