Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials is pivotal in the development of next-generation electronic devices, including memories, sensors, and spintronic systems. While experimental synthesis and characterization provide critical insights, theoretical modeling and computer simulations are indispensable in unraveling the fundamental physical mechanisms at multiple scales—from atomic interactions to macroscopic properties. This Special Issue, titled "Advances in Ferroelectric/Ferromagnetic Materials: Modeling and Simulations", will highlight the latest breakthroughs in computational techniques in these fascinating materials.
We invite contributions that explore multi-scale modeling techniques, such as first-principle calculations, phase-field modeling, molecular dynamics, and finite-element analysis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, domain wall dynamics, polarization switching, magnetoelectric coupling, novel topological structures (e.g., skyrmions), and the design of new multiferroic materials. This Special Issue will foster a deeper understanding of structure–property relationships and accelerate the rational design of advanced functional materials for technological applications. We welcome the submission of original research articles and reviews that address these key 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. 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.
