Magnetic and Magnetoelectric Materials and Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Developing novel magnetic materials with interesting properties (e.g., the magnetostrictive and magnetoimpedance effects) and coupling them with ferroelectric materials (e.g., magnetoelectric composite and other multiferroic materials) are crucial to the design and fabrication of modern magnetic devices, such as magnetic sensors and memory. Specifically, the fabrication technology of soft magnetic materials (e.g., ribbon, thin film, and microwire), the modeling method of magnetic and multiferroic effects (e.g., magnetoimpedance, magnetostrictive, and magnetoelectric effect, etc.), the design of magnetic devices (e.g., sensors, memory, filters, and energy harvesters, etc.) and corresponding applications have been receiving increasing attention in recent decades.

The Special Issue titled “Magnetic and Magnetoelectric Materials and Devices” aims to account for advanced and innovative magnetic and magnetoelectric materials fabrication methods, physical principles, device designs, and corresponding applications. We look forward to publishing relevant and original high-quality research papers. Potential topical areas include—but are not limited to—the following:

1. Magnetostrictive materials;
2. Magnetoelectric composites;
3. Fabrication of soft magnetic material and magnetoimpedance effects;
4. Shape memory alloy;
5. Magnetic sensor;
6. Magnetic memory;
7. Magnetoelectric energy harvester ;
8. Magnetic recording technology;
9. Novel artificial-intelligence-based algorithms for magnetic device applications;

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. 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.
