Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic materials are indispensable to modern technologies and play a pivotal role in energy conversion. Among them, rare-earth permanent magnets and soft magnetic materials are two of the most important classes of magnetic materials, underpinning a wide range of applications including electric vehicles, wind power generators, transformers, inductors, sensors and other advanced electromagnetic devices. As the global pursuit of energy efficiency, carbon neutrality and intelligent technologies continues to accelerate, the development of high-performance magnetic materials has become both a scientific frontier and a technological imperative.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the dissemination of recent advances and emerging trends in rare-earth permanent magnets and soft magnetic materials. The scope covers Nd-Fe-B, Sm-Co and other rare-earth permanent magnets, as well as soft magnetic materials such as Fe-Si alloys, Fe-Co alloys, ferrites and amorphous alloys. Topics of interest include materials design and processing, microstructure–property relationships, grain boundary and interface engineering, rare-earth resource efficiency, recycling and sustainable manufacturing, advanced characterization methods, computational modeling and data-driven materials discovery. Contributions addressing magnetic materials for electrification, renewable energy systems and next-generation industrial applications are particularly encouraged.
Both original research articles and comprehensive review papers are welcome. Through this Special Issue, we seek to highlight recent scientific and technological breakthroughs, foster interdisciplinary collaboration across the magnetic materials community and provide insights into the challenges and opportunities that will shape the future development of rare-earth permanent magnets and soft 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 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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Magnetochemistry 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 2200 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.
