Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to bridge functional behavior with underlying condensed matter mechanisms. Authors are invited to contribute original research articles or reviews that explore the microscopic mechanisms underlying the synergistic electrochemical and magnetic behavior in nanocomposite materials. Submissions should highlight how advanced synthesis techniques enable the emergence of coupled functionalities through controlled interfaces and nanoscale architectures. Contributions that investigate correlated effects such as interfacial charge–spin correlations, electron–phonon coupling, magnetoelectric interactions, or emergent phase behavior are especially encouraged. Particular emphasis is placed on atomic-scale characterization using tools like X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and magnetic or spectroscopic probes to unravel structure–property relationships and interfacial phenomena. The issue also welcomes theoretical modeling and AI/ML-assisted design strategies that predict, interpret, or optimize coupled responses in multifunctional condensed matter systems. Topics of interest include magnetically tunable electrodes, spin-dependent electrochemical phenomena, and hybrid materials for sensing, energy conversion, or field-assisted catalysis. Submissions should go beyond application-driven narratives to explicitly connect emergent physical properties with the underlying condensed matter mechanisms that govern them. Interdisciplinary approaches spanning physics, materials science, and engineering are strongly encouraged. This issue aims to serve as a platform for showcasing innovations that deepen our understanding of complex interactions in multifunctional condensed matter systems and advance the design of next-generation 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Condensed Matter is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
