Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The race toward ultrafast, miniaturized, and energy-efficient technologies has positioned spintronics—the manipulation of electron spin for information processing—at the forefront of modern science. Beyond experiments, translating spin phenomena into functional devices relies on a pivotal tool: micromagnetic simulations. These computational models resolve nanoscale magnetization dynamics with picosecond precision, driving innovations in magnetic memory, neuromorphic hardware, and quantum sensors. Advances in GPU-accelerated algorithms and the integration of micromagnetic simulations with machine learning now enable large-scale simulations, narrowing the gap between theoretical predictions and experimental validation. This synergy uncovers novel physics in skyrmions, spin–orbit torque devices, thermal switching, and high-frequency magnonic devices, and yet, vast territories remain uncharted: exotic magnetic structures and phenomena, next-generation spintronic architectures, and innovative simulation frameworks await exploration by researchers. This Special Issue invites breakthroughs bridging quantum spin physics and real-world technologies. We welcome submissions on cutting-edge methodologies, tools, and applications that will shape tomorrow’s 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. 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.
