Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ferroelectric materials, including piezoelectric materials, electro-optical crystals, etc., are widely used in memory, converters, detectors, and so on. Magnetic materials use their various magnetic properties and special effects to make components or devices for storing, transmitting, and converting electromagnetic energy and information. Multiferroic materials can realize the mutual coupling of multiple physical fields such as force, electricity, and magnetism, and have important application prospects in the field of low-power magnetoelectric devices and storage. Therefore, we would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Materials, titled “Ferroelectric, magnetic, and multiferroic materials and applications”. This issue aims to collect the most recent advances in ferroic ceramics and thin films, and their new applications in energy storage, sensing, information storage, and more.
In this Special Issue, we would like to welcome all contributions from this broad field, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and dielectric materials;
- Magnetism and magnetic materials;
- Multiferroic and magnetoelectric materials;
- Recent advances in ferroic ceramics and thin films technology and applications in energy storage and memory, etc.

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.
