Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic materials have been a cornerstone of modern technology for decades, finding applications across diverse fields such as energy, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. These materials are at the heart of numerous innovative systems, including magnetic storage devices, energy-efficient motors, biomedical imaging tools, and environmental remediation solutions. With advancements in nanotechnology and material science, there is a growing potential to engineer magnetic materials with unprecedented properties, enabling breakthroughs in emerging applications.

This Special Issue aims to explore the synergy between fundamental research and practical applications. By bringing together a global network of researchers, this collection will offer a platform for showcasing state-of-the-art developments, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and inspiring innovative solutions for pressing global challenges.

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.

In this study, we aimed to induce controlled structural disorder through a double substitution approach in the La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 compound by investigating La0.5−xRexCa0.5−yAeyMnO3 compounds with x = 0.05 and 0.1 and Re = Eu, Nd, Gd, Pr, and Ae = Ba and Sr. The y values are adjusted to maintain a constant average ionic radius (<rA> = 1.198 Å) and an unchanged Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio. These samples were synthesized using the sol–gel method. XRD analysis confirms structural stability despite the induced disorder, showing subtle lattice distortions. Magnetic measurements reveal that introducing low disorder annihilates the charge ordered (CO) state, enhances double-exchange interactions, and influences the ferromagnetic (FM) volume fractions. Moderate disorder strengthens AFM–CO state, triggering a first–order metamagnetic transition and reducing the Curie temperature value. Magnetic field-dependent magnetization data show disorder dependent magnetic behavior and suggest the presence of the Griffiths phase for all samples, confirming the role of structural disorder in tuning magnetic phase coexistence. Pr-based samples display a considerable magnetocaloric effect near their Curie temperature. Full article

Magnetic iron oxide (II,III) nanoparticles (MNPs) are highly interested in biomedicine. However, their application is limited by oxidation, aggregation, rapid clearance from the body, and poor biodistribution. Coating by human serum albumin (HSA), the predominant blood plasma protein, can significantly influence properties, prolong circulation half-life, and enhance tumor capture efficiency. Here, we report the synthesis of oleic acid and Tween20-coated MNPs and their interaction with HSA. The influence of albumin coating on MNP size, zeta potential, aggregation ability, and toxicity was studied. The particles were characterized by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy methods. The nanoparticles’ relaxivities (r1 and r2) were assessed under a magnetic field of 1.88 T to evaluate their performance in MRI applications. The anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) loading capacity of up to 725 µg/mg for albumin-coated MNPs was determined. DOX-loaded MNPs displayed pH-sensitive drug release during acidic conditions. The series of DOX-loaded nanocomposites indicated inhibition of A549 cell lines, and the IC50 values were evaluated. This research underscores the utility of HSA-coated MNPs in enhancing the efficacy and stability of drug delivery systems in biomedicine. Full article
