Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spin chirality, with its profound impact on magnetic properties and behaviors, has emerged as a prominent area of investigation within the realm of molecular magnetism and symmetry relation. The interplay between the spatial arrangement of spins and their chiral characteristics gives rise to intriguing phenomena and holds immense potential for both fundamental studies and technological applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for disseminating the latest advancements in spin chirality and its connection with symmetry relation. We welcome original research articles and reviews that address various aspects of this field, including but not limited to the following:
- Theoretical and experimental investigations of chiral-induced spin selectivity and its connection with symmetry relation;
- Chirality and spin dynamics in molecular magnets;
- Chiral magnetic textures and their manipulation;
- Chirality in topological materials and its impact on spin transport;
- How symmetry relation affects the magnetism in various materials.
We believe that this Special Issue will not only provide a valuable platform for researchers to share their latest findings but also contribute to the advancement of spin chirality research and its impact on molecular magnetism. We look forward to your participation and the opportunity to showcase the remarkable progress being made 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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
