Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ferroic materials, including ferroelectric, ferroelastic, ferromagnetic, and multiferroic materials, have broad applications in modern electronic industries, due to their rich electrical, mechanical, magnetic, and magnetoelectric coupling, piezoelectric coupling, and piezomagnetic coupling properties. For example, ferroelectric and magnetic materials play a role in information storage, based on the switching of domains. Piezoelectric materials can be used as sensors/actuators/energy harvesters, based on their piezoelectric properties. Multiferroic materials can simultaneously exhibit ferroelectric and (anti-)ferromagnetic order. Benefitting from their unique magnetoelectric coupling effect, multiferroic materials demonstrate a wide range of application prospects in the fields of new magnetoelectric sensing and high-performance information storage. Recently, the advanced development in ferroic materials, such as their low dimensions, nanoscale size, and high surface area, has drawn significant attention in several novel applications, such as catalysis, organics degradation, and CO2 reduction.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Ferro/Piezoelectric and Multiferroic Materials,” aims to collect the most recent advances in ferroic materials and their novel applications in different fields of interest. For this reason, this Special Issue will include a large variety of materials and related applications, including ferroelectric, dielectric, piezoelectric, magnetic, and multiferroic nanomaterials, as well as their applications in energy harvesting, sensing, catalysis, information storage, etc. Papers on the fundamental understanding (including simulation work) of the novel properties demonstrated by ferroic materials are also welcome.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. 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.
