Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rare earth elements play an important role in improving the properties of materials, such as improving the strength, plasticity, toughness, fatigue resistance, high-temperature performance, and corrosion resistance of alloys. Moreover, rare earth elements also can enrich the function of the materials, such as luminescence, magnetism, catalysis, etc. In recent years, the research on rare earth develops very actively, and papers on the latest progress in this field demonstrate a hotspot all the time. This reflects the high academic standards and new progress in the field of rare earth materials. Thus, the Special Issue will focus on Design, Characterization, and Applications of Advanced Rare Earth Materials. This Special Issue covers all research and application of 17 rare earth elements, including rare earth alloys, rare earth processing, rare earth luminescence materials, rare earth magnetic materials, rare earth catalysis, rare earth chemistry, rare earth metallography, advanced rare earth new materials, rare earth applications, etc.
We would like to invite you with great pleasure to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full articles, short communications, and review papers are all welcome.

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.
