Modeling and Characterization of Materials with Unique Magnetic, Electric and Mechanical Properties (Second Volume)

Dear Colleagues,

Modern materials are a source of technology progress in many areas. There are well known applications in electronics, energetics (including the green technologies), motor and car industry.  For example, modern soft magnetic materials as a core of transformers or electric motors cause a significant increase of their energetic efficiency, saving energy in a global meaning. On the other hand, the hard magnetic materials are widely used in computer and energetic technologies as data storage media and high-efficiency electric generators, respectively. Between this two groups, one can observe a family of magnetic materials with excellent properties for broad application spectra (sensors, actuators, energy harvesting devices, magnetic refrigerators etc.). Other interesting property is electric transport in solids giving new conducting and semiconducting materials for modern electronic and computing machines. In this aspect, it is worth to mention topological insulators which sims to be a future for high efficiency electronic devices.

The progress in magnetic materials, not restricted to the mention above groups, would not be possible without basic science including technology, characterization and modeling in the atomic as well as large scale level. Such researches are useful for designing new systems with unique properties required for different applications.

The special issue entitled “Modeling and Characterization of Materials with Unique Magnetic, Electric and Mechanical Properties (Second Volume)” refers to reviews and/or original research papers in the broad area of materials characterized by some unique features, leading to new application spectra.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are welcome.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
