Advanced Materials for Green Spintronics

Dear Colleagues,

Spintronics has developed into a broad research topic that bundles synergies across material research, magnetic and electronic properties of matter, and spin and charge transport phenomena, towards more energy efficient devices. By now, spintronics has made its way into key applications like sensorics and IT technologies. Therefore, it can be arguably seen as science at work. The fascination with this topic seems greater than ever, as documented by the ever-growing research output in this research field. Spintronics inherently includes the design and control of structure and electronic properties of alloys, compounds, and molecular hybrid systems that exhibit magnetic and ferroelectric ground states. A basic understanding of complex interactions between their spin and charge orders that can be modified at a nanoscale and down to femtosecond timescales through intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli is at the core of this research field today.

As a member of this scientific community, you are contributing to a better life and to paving the way towards meeting the grand challenge of a sustainable green planet.

This Special Issue aims at publishing a collection of research contributions illustrating the most recent advances and developments that are rooted in basic research on advanced materials and their functionality for green spintronics. We hope to present a collection of papers that will be of interest to scholars in this field. Contributions in the form of original research papers, reviews, and short communications on any aspect of advanced materials for green spintronics are welcome. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Electric control of ferromagnets;
• Noncollinear antiferomagnets for spintronics;
• Ferrimagnetic-based heterostructures;
• Low-dimensional systems;
• Interfacial magnetochemistry;
• Topological-spin phenomena;
• Spin torques in ferromagnets;
• Dynamics in frequency and time domain;
• Terahertz electronics and devices;
• Spintronics.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Applied Sciences.

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.
