Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrafast spin dynamics and fundamental collective excitations in spintronic materials and structures typically occur on the picosecond timescale or within the terahertz (THz) frequency range. As a result, spintronic materials—particularly nanomaterials and nanostructures—have emerged in recent years as key building blocks for THz devices, including emitters, modulators, and detectors. Some of these devices demonstrate notable advantages over conventional THz components, further highlighting the significant potential of spintronic nanomaterials and nanostructures in driving the development of next-generation THz technologies.
This Special Issue aims to present comprehensive research outlining progress on the application of nanomaterials and nanostructures in spintronic THz devices, including THz emitters, modulators, detectors, and related components. Research on their applications—ranging from fundamental studies to industrial technologies—is also welcome. We invite authors to contribute original research articles and review papers covering recent advances in this field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Spintronic THz emitters;
- Spintronic THz modulators;
- Spintronic THz detectors;
- Physical mechanisms of spintronic THz emission, modulation, and detection;
- Theoretical and computational studies of spintronic THz phenomena;
- The interactions between THz waves and spintronic nanomaterials or nanostructures;
- Fabrication and characterization of spintronic THz devices;
- Applications of spintronic THz devices.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
