Permanent Magnets

Dear Colleagues,

Permanent magnets are one of the most critical components in many devices, including electric motors, household appliances, wind turbines, and hybrid vehicles. Rapidly-increasing demand of high-performance permanent magnets make strong scientific cases for developing competing permanent magnets that do not rely on elements having high criticality and that are expensive. Thus, many scientists and engineers from all over the world are working on this topic to find better properties for various permanent magnet materials, including rare earth based, ferrite, alnico, and iron-nitrate. In this Special Issue we would like to invite scientists who are working in this field to contribute their original research and review articles that cover theoretical and modeling studies, synthesis, characterization and optimization of both rare earth and non-rare earth-based permanent magnet materials.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Theoretical and modeling study
• Fundamental study of hard magnetic materials
• Synthesis, characterization and optimization
• Restructuring and microstructural study
• Research on recycling of permanent magnet 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-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.
