Development and Application of Novel Characterization Techniques for Magnetic Materials and Devices at the Nanoscale

Dear Colleagues,

The study of magnetic materials and devices at the nanoscale has become one of the most interesting and complex research fields, from both basic and applied perspectives. In recent decades, the fundamental understanding of static and dynamic magnetic processes at the nanoscale has greatly improved, owing to innovative experiments and theoretical approaches. We have seen rapid progress in the development of novel techniques for nanoscale magnetic characterization with ultrahigh spatial, temporal, and energetic resolutions. Notably, ultrafast laser technologies combined with X-ray- and electron-based pump–probe approaches have made fast strides and thus attracted considerable research interest. Therefore, a timely summary and collections of the current status of different technologies and their respective applications of nanoscale magnetic materials devices are highly valued.

This Special Issue focuses on the latest theoretical developments and practical applications of novel magnetic characterization techniques that have been successfully established and applied on various nanoscale magnetic materials and devices. We aim to attract both academic and industrial researchers in order to pool the current knowledge of nanoscale characterization of nanomagnetism and to present new ideas for future application and new technologies for advancing nanomagnetism research.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
