Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We see things through light, mostly visible light. However, lights beyond the visible range are used when we need to extend the limit of detection. Light, an electromagnetic wave, interacts with materials via the charge and spin of the electrons or nucleons.
Naturally, light scattering has long been used as a powerful method in various research area, due to its fingerprint sensitivity, high information content, minimal sample preparation, non-contact and non-destructive nature. Advances in light sources, such as lasers, synchrotron accelerators, terahertz generators further expanded our scope of research activity to unprecedented level. In recent years, light scattering studies of magnetic materials have attracted much research interests. Valuable information regarding the nature of the spin excitations and the possibility of application to optically-operating spin devices is obtained through light scattering investigation of various magnetic materials.
For this special issue, we cordially invite you to contribute and share with our colleagues your research articles, reviews, and communications that will stimulate continuing efforts in the light, from infra-red (even radio-wave) to x-ray, scattering research on magnetic materials. Recent topics and progresses of light scattering research of magnetic materials including fundamental spin excitations and application to optical spin devices are 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. 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.
