Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of modern experimental techniques, especially synchrotron techniques has allowed scientists to obtain new knowledge concerning the nanostructure and morphology of nano-objects, as well as their physico-chemical properties. The development of our understanding of the origin of properties of nanomaterials is significantly expanding the possible application of such materials. Currently, the use of magnetic nanomaterials has become vital due to, for instance, their high catalytic, and attractive magnetic characteristics. However, the precise investigation of prospective nanomaterials is strictly indispensable, as it may enable the precise tuning of the properties of nanomaterials for precise exploitation methods.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions from researchers who study the fundamental origin of the properties of functional nanomaterials and studies exploring their wide area of application.
We hope that this Special Issue of the open access journal CRYSTALS presents a platform to investigate modern synthesis methods, investigation tools, and new prospective applications of functional nanomaterials.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
