Advanced Spintronic Materials and Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Spintronics is an emerging form of electronics that uses electron spin to carry information. In contrast to conventional semiconductor devices, spintronic devices take the advantages of high speed, low consumption, and versatility. Recent years have witnessed a sharp rise in the number of research on this topic. New branches in this field including magnonics and orbitronics have emerged, and novel spintronic phenomena such as spin-orbit torque, spin-pumping effect, spin filtering effect, spin diode effect, and spin Seebeck effect have been proposed and verified. In that context, spintronic materials with abundant properties and spintronic devices with high performance and low-power consumption are demanded.

The main goal of the Special Issue is to highlight Original Research, Reviews, Mini Reviews and Perspective Articles on themes including, but not limited to:

• Spin dynamics;
• Spin transport;
• Spin-orbit coupling;
• Spin-orbit torque;
• Spin wave/magnon;
• Magnetic heterostructures;
• 2D magnetism.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
