Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional magnetic thin films are used in a wide range of applications, including microelectronic mechanical devices (MEMS) such as microactuators, micromotors, microinductors and sensors such as low field, gas, mass, strain and force. These magnetic materials include magnetostrictive, magnetocaloric, soft and hard magnetic and composite materials. A wide range of research is being carried out to develop these magnetic films, which includes tuning their properties for applications, along with designing new applications.
The focus of this special issue is to highlight the recent progression in functional magnetic films, including their fabrication, characterisation, properties and applications, looking towards the future applications as well as presenting the state of the art.
The scope of the special issue is functional magnetic films, this can include magnetostrictive, magnetocaloric, soft and hard magnetic materials, along with composite materials, all of which have use within magnetic devices and sensors.
The purpose of the special issue is to bring together the world leading research on magnetic films in magnetic devices and sensors, to provide comprehensive overview of where functional magnetic thin film research is now and where it is heading in the future.
The collection will provide not only give a broad overview of the wide range of magnetic materials used in devices and applications in one place, but also will highlight the state of the art research going on in this field.

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. Sustainability 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.
