Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The science of magnetism in modern physics and material science occupies a significant place in and is organically connected to most other sections of science. Magnetism is a very attractive and intensively developing field. Every day we get more and more used to the new level of comfort provided by the progress in the field of magnetic materials. Magnetic recording, drug delivery, electric vehicles, wind turbines, actuators of robots, and many other applications of magnetic materials allows us to significantly improve labour efficiency, longevity, and people’s comfort levels.
It has long been clear that the basic functional properties of hard magnetic materials, soft magnetic materials, and sensors based on them are largely determined at the nanometer level. In the transition from microcrystalline to nanocrystalline materials, mechanical, magnetic, and electric interactions on the interfaces of neighbouring grains or layers of magnetic films begin to play an essential role in the formation of their properties. In nanocrystalline materials, fundamental constants such as the Curie temperature can even change. These features of nanocrystalline materials make it possible to create devices which function on new physical principles.
We are all aware that magnetic properties are inextricably linked to the chemical composition and crystal structure of materials. Only the well-established influence of structure on properties of materials allows us to search and create materials with necessary magnetic properties purposefully.
This issue of Crystals is dedicated to experimental and theoretical research works providing new insights and practical findings to advance the field of magnetic properties of nanostructure materials. Potential papers include but are not limited to the following topics covering modern magnetic materials:
- Soft and hard magnetic materials
- Magnetic soft matter
- Spintronics and magnetic nanostructures
- Magnetism in biology and medicine
- Composite magnetic 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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
