Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Shape memory materials (SMMs) are fascinating materials with the potential for application as smart materials that have attracted significant research attention. However, one of the main drawbacks of the non-magnetic SMMs is their slow dynamic response, which is restricted by thermal activation.
Since the discovery in 1996 of large magnetic field-induced strains of Ni2MnGa Heusler alloys associated with the magnetic field-induced reorientation of martensitic variants, the study of magnetic shape memory materials (MSMMs) has been a topic of extensive research. It has been observed that the magnetic control of the shape memory leads to a much faster dynamic response when compared to thermal control. Thus, these alloys are envisaged as a promising class of smart materials to be used in sensors and actuators.
This Special Issue presents a focused collection of leading original research and reviews on magnetic shape memory materials related to design, processing, modification, functionalization, and application, especially those for use in engineering 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 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. Magnetochemistry 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 2700 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.
