Magnetic Nanostructured Materials: Synthesis, Characterization and Their Cutting-Edge Applications

In the early 1930s, Frenkel and Dorfman predicted that a particle of ferromagnetic material with a size below a critical limit would possess a single magnetic domain within which magnetic moments of free electrons are aligned in parallel. Since then, there has been a continuously increasing interest in the scientific community for the development and study of magnetic materials in the nanoscale size regime. This enormous interest is mainly due to their prospective applications in many technological areas, including magnetic storage devices, ferrofluids, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic carriers, magnetic hyperthermia environmental remedation protection, energy and catalysis. Recently, there has additionally been a great interest for the synthesis of 2D magnetic materials, which seem to offer potential for significant improvements in spintronic applications.

The present collection is aimed at presenting the current state-of-the-art in the synthesis of magnetic nanomaterials in both particles and thin-layered forms, as well as their advanced characterization and niche applications. In this collection, we are inviting contributions from leading groups in the field aiming to present a comprehensive view of the progress in this discipline.

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.
