Advances of Symmetry/Asymmetry in Magnetic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry is one of the central concepts in modern physics and plays a fundamental role in characterizing magnetic materials. Magnetic materials are divided into metal and non-metal according to their properties. The former are mainly Fe, Co, Ni elements and their alloys, rare earth elements and their alloys, and the latter are mainly ferrite materials. It can also be divided into soft magnetic materials, permanent magnetic materials and functional magnetic materials according to their use. These magnetic materials play a huge role in various fields of modern technology, such as memories, transformers, magnetoresistive devices, etc., and are closely related to informatization, automation, and mechatronics.

This Special Issue explores various applications of symmetry in magnetic materials. We welcome both original research and review articles.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, ferromagnetic materials, magnetoresistive devices, Hall devices, and topological spin materials.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
