Advances in Multifunctional Magnetic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue consists of the preparation, characterization, analysis and applications of Multifunctional Magnetic Materials, hard and soft, to provide a new solution for several industrial sectors, such as electrical machines, automotive, informatics, electronics, etc.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Permanent Magnets, both Sintered and Bonded: NdFeB, Ferrites, SmCo, AlNiCo; Innovative Rare Earth (RE) magnets, RE-Free magnet solutions, RE Recycling Processes;
• Soft Magnetic Composite Materials and Alloys: preparation and characterization, organic and inorganic layer for ferromagnetic powder, amorphous powder, particle size effects, covering techniques and insulating materials used in Soft Magnetic Composite Materials, Production Processes;
• Hybrid Magnets, Hybrid Composite Materials (HMC), Production Processes;
• Additive manufacturing Magnetic Materials: adopted Techniques, Iron–Silicon powder, Non-destructive measurements;
• Iron loss measurements and analysis, eddy current hysteresis and excess loss separation, initial permeability measurements, novel or optimized measurement techniques;
• FE Analysis of magnetic behaviour related to magnetic structures, Iron Loss Models;
• Life Cycle Assessment for magnetic materials, both soft and hard.
• Applications in the electrical machine, electronic conversion devices, informatic and telecommunication sectors, low- and high-frequency use and other applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Materials 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 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.
