Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The observation of giant magnetoresistance in Fe–Cr thin films by the groups of Prof. Fert and Prof. Gründberg boosted the research into the magnetic and transport properties of thin films. Thus, in the last thirty years, research areas such as spintronics, spin injections, magnetic semiconductors and spin transfer torque have emerged and they have initiated a revolution in the field of integrated magnetic sensors and magnetic memories.

In spite of the huge amount of research produced by the scientific community, there is still a challenge to improve and discover new materials and new mechanisms to increase the memory and processing capabilities as well as to reduce the power consumption of these magnetic devices.

The aim of this Special Issue of Magnetochemistry, Magnetic and Transport Properties of Thin-Film Materials, is to provide an opportunity for researchers and scientists to share their work and their investigations on materials science connected to spin transport in thin films and other related topics.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Magnetochemistry.

Guest Editor

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.
