Role of Magnetochemistry in Applied Physics

Dear Colleagues,

Research on plasma and its applied physics has become more active in recent years. Plasma is referred to as the fourth state of matter, and can generate chemically reactive species in situ by colliding electrons in a high-energy state with molecules or inorganic/organic materials. Taking advantage of this feature, some technologies are already being developed, and there is a wide range of applied research fields such as process, medicine, and agriculture. On the other hand, it is important to control the plasma, which generates electric field, magnetic field, and UV light as well as reactive species, which requires plasma diagnosis such as flow control and electromagnetic mechanics and chemistry. Furthermore, to evaluate the effects of agents on inorganic and organic materials, it is important to conduct studies from the perspective of surface chemical engineering, molecular biology, and life science. This Special Issue aims to collect the latest original research papers that show the scope/role of magnetochemistry in plasma applied physics and plasma diagnostic technology and to comprehensively understand plasma application. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

―Plasma diagnostic technology;

―Action on inorganic and organic materials (solid and/or liquid phase);

―Biomedical/agricultural applications.

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 2700 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.
