Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although the magnetocaloric effect was observed more than 140 years ago, it is still a very attractive phenomenon. In particular, in recent decades, due to the possibility to substitute classical cooling with freon and similar gases, it has also developed ecological dimensions. The aim is to find new compounds that are effective in this field, e.g., some Heusler alloys are characterized by a higher magnetocaloric effect. Another possibility is a decrease in dimensions, which could be done by microwire preparation. The field of very-low-temperature cooling by adiabatic demagnetisation is also important. All the above-mentioned properties result in a wide variety of technical applications. Therefore, it is very important to know and prepare these compounds.
In this Special Issue, we welcome articles that focus on fundamentals and applications in order to prepare them and study their properties, as well as the final products’ performance.

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.
