Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our society has been fascinated by magnetism since ancient times. Thus, it has become a multidisciplinary research area of huge discoveries and developments, with an enormous increase in the number of scientists and engineers working in the field in recent years. The study of new and versatile magnetic materials, such as new magnetic alloys, magnetic nanoparticles, and molecular-based magnets, is growing very fast and is generating great knowledge, which sooner or later will be technologically applied and will benefit our society.
Special interest is being paid to the design, synthesis, and characterization of new multifunctional molecular materials which exhibit phenomena and other useful properties in addition to their magnetic ones. These materials are being considered as prototypes of qubits and quantum gates (QGs) for the physical implementation of quantum information processing (QIP) in future quantum computers. In addition, similar magnetic compounds are being used to create novel molecular spintronics devices.
Taking advantage of their versatility and magnetic properties, new magnetic materials are being proposed as antitumor agents in magnetic hyperthermia, contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic refrigerants at low temperature. These topics are of enormous interest in the research fields of nanotechnology and biomedicine.
In view of the diverse properties and applications of new magnetic materials, I cordially invite you to contribute to the publication of this Special Issue entitled “Magnetic Materials and Their Various 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 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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
