Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultra-low-temperature magnetic refrigeration materials are mainly various paramagnetic salts or quantum magnets that exhibit prominent magnetocaloric effects through adiabatic demagnetization in sub-Kelvin temperatures. They are important coolants in applications such as deep-space explorations, quantum computations, etc., especially in the context of persistent concerns about global helium shortages.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that explore cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of synthesis, characterizations, and mechanism research of ultra-low-temperature magnetic refrigeration materials. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome to be submitted, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
