Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic nanomaterials stand at the confluence of cutting-edge materials science and advanced applications, owing to their size-dependent magnetic behaviors, tunable magnetic anisotropy, and potential for high-density integration. This Special Issue aims to bring into focus both the preparation and precise characterization of magnetic nanomaterials, emphasizing methods that control crystal structure, morphology, surface chemistry, and defect landscapes. We invite the submission of original contributions reporting on new synthetic strategies—chemical, physical, or bio-inspired—that enable careful tuning of composition, size, and morphology, as well as studies that probe intrinsic magnetic properties using advanced techniques such as synchrotron X-ray, electron microscopy with atomic resolution, magneto-optical spectroscopies, and magnetic resonance.
In addition, submissions that correlate structure with application are particularly welcome; for instance, studies of magnetic nanomaterials in data storage, spintronic devices, biomedical imaging or therapy, catalysis, or energy conversion. This Special Issue seeks to chart the state of the art in magnetic nanomaterials, highlight long-term stability and reliability under ambient conditions, and define emerging challenges and directions for future breakthroughs.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Junyoung Kwon
Guest Editor
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.
