Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic refrigeration produces clean energy and is a promising technology in comparison with traditional cooling techniques. This technology is based on the magnetocaloric effect where the material shows a temperature change once the applied magnetic field is changed. This Special Issue is focused on the experimental and theoretical aspects of the magnetocaloric effect in magnetic materials. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include several areas, such as the influence of alloying elements, synthesis methods, post processes, etc. on magnetic and magnetocaloric properties. This is in addition to modeling and imperical investigations of the magneticaloric effect. Manuscripts on the engineering aspects in the improvement of heat transfer between the magnetocaloric material and fluid in a magnetic refrigeration system are also welcome.

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. Metals 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 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.
