Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to share the upcoming Special Issue of Nanomaterials, “Nanoscale Spintronics and Magnetism: From Fundamentals to Devices”.
I, therefore, invite you to submit your research work, in the form of a full paper, communication, or review.
The aim and purpose of this issue is to present cutting-edge research on topics such as nanoelectronics, nanosensors, and devices.
A small introduction follows to explain the general topic: Nanoscale Spintronics and Magnetism: From Fundamentals to Devices.
In recent years, more and more researchers have focused on spintronics, exploring next-generation materials and/or nanoelectronic devices that rely on electron spin and are characterized by reduced energy consumption, increased high-speed, high-density memory, etc. In short, materials/devices take advantage of the degree of spin freedom of electrons and/or holes and the interaction with the orbital moments.
On the other hand, the field of molecular magnetism is rapidly evolving towards the use of magnetic molecules and magnetic nanomaterials in the field of molecular spintronics, quantum technology, etc. Magnetic materials can become a cornerstone of spintronics through the control of spin configurations. Molecular materials, single-molecule magnets, MOFs, 2D materials, and even the isolation of hybrids from single-molecule magnets and spin crossover nanoparticles are some examples that have attractive properties and functions in 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 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. 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.
