Fabrication and Characterization of Nanostructured Magnetic Materials
This special issue belongs to the section "Smart and Functional Materials".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The flourish of the field of nanostructured magnetic materials has been accomplished by the use of precise preparation and characterization techniques. These materials have boosted technological advances because new and compelling properties are the result of the artificial structure. Some of them are due to physical phenomena at the surface or interface of the magnetic materials with other species; other important properties are sustained by the strain induced in the magnetic structure by the underlying substrate. This issue is focused on the magnetic properties observed in nanostructured materials with interest in technological applications. Some topics of current interest are thin-film multiferroic heterostructures, magnetic quasiparticles, antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic systems, and spintronics.

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-anonymized 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.
