Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The search for low-dimensional magnetic systems has attracted large interest in last decade due to their rich phenomena. Specifically, one-dimensional (1D) magnetic spin-chain materials, exhibiting exotic quantum phenomena such as spin gap, spin-Peierls instability, quantum criticality, quantum-disordered ground state, fractionalization of spin excitations, quantum spin liquid, single-chain magnet, etc., are in the current focus of research in the fields of physics and materials science. The dominating quantum fluctuation over thermal fluctuation yields a rich variety of unusual ground states that are not only the subject of fundamental science but also are of interest regarding future potential application. The recent demonstration of magnetoelectric coupling and ferroelectricity as a result of 1D spin chains in Haldane chain systems is a current example of its future possible application in smart devices. Multiferroic quantum criticality is another emerging field where 1D spin chain could have a great contribution. Therefore, further investigation on 1D magnetic spin-chain materials could trigger research at an advanced level.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish the latest advances in a large variety of theoretical and experimental work related to 1D spin-chain magnetic materials. This will expose the latest achievements and create a huge impact in materials science.
We invite researchers to submit original research articles which fall into any of the topics listed below.

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.
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.
