Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Permanent magnets play a key role in modern technologies, ranging from renewable energy systems like electric vehicles and wind turbines to consumer electronics such as smartphones and air conditioners. Rare-earth permanent magnets represent a well-established and advanced technology. Nd–Fe–B, Sm–Co, and Sm–Fe–N magnets are the main types of rare-earth permanent magnets, each offering distinct advantages. Nd–Fe–B magnets are known for their high performance and cost-effectiveness, Sm–Co magnets excel in high-temperature stability, and Sm–Fe–N magnets are emerging for specialized applications due to their unique properties.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments in rare-earth permanent magnets, focusing on their synthesis, fabrication, properties, and applications. Contributions that address both theoretical and experimental aspects of these materials are welcome for submission. We also welcome studies exploring the synthesis of rare-earth permanent magnets using various techniques, including physical, chemical, and hybrid methods, as well as studies that examine the structural and magnetic properties of these materials, including the influence of defects and impurities. Theoretical studies, particularly those involving simulations of magnetic behaviors, are also encouraged, as they provide valuable insights into the fundamental properties.
Furthermore, this Special Issue will highlight practical challenges in rare-earth magnet technology, including material recycling and the development of sustainable production methods. Contributions that focus on the optimization of magnet properties and explore new applications in energy, robotics, electronics, and transportation are particularly welcome, as they offer potential solutions to emerging challenges in these fields.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Magnetochemistry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
