Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapidly solidified amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys attract the attention of the scientific community due to their unique physical properties. Appropriate processing of amorphous materials allows researchers to control their crystallization and shape their functionalities. In particular, some amorphous and nanocrystalline materials based on iron and cobalt exhibit exceptionally good soft magnetic properties and are key components of electromagnetic devices such as transformers, sensors, actuators and others. The annealing of rapidly solidified alloys containing rare-earth elements allows deriving the hard magnetic materials. Studies of multi-elemental alloys have brought significant development of bulk metallic glasses. Particularly, Zr-, Hf-, Cu-, Pd-, and Mg-based alloys can be obtained in the form of bulk specimens of significant geometrical sizes due to their high glass forming abilities. Their mechanical properties seem to be promising for their potential applications.
This Special Issue covers all the aspects of the synthesis, characterization, and application of rapidly solidified amorphous and nanocrystaline materials. We invite researchers interested in this subject and encourage them to submit manuscripts relevant to recent developments in this 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. 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.
