Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Magneto-optical and luminescence properties have become important for the development of a new class of functional materials. This effect causes the rotation of polarization by a material as the result of the application of an external magnetic field. The Faraday effect has received significant attention with regard to applications of magneto-optical materials. The degree of Kerr rotation is used to determine the magnitude and orientation of the local magnetic domain. Dispersive MO effects in pure and substituted rare-earth ions garnets or sinters are the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical investigations. These effects are used for modulating the amplitude of light and form the basis of optical circulators and optical isolators and are integral to optical telecommunications networks and various laser applications. This Special Issue focuses mainly on the detection and characterization of magneto-optical, luminescence, and phosphorescence properties in different types of materials. We invite you to present work on the influence of rare earth ion concentration on magneto-optical and luminescence properties of the material. Publications devoted to the application of magneto-optical measurements to characterize solids and liquids are especially interesting. The articles should pay attention to the measurement methodology. The structure of the methods section should describe the research protocol, explain how the measurements were made, what measuring instruments were constructed, and what calculations were made. We invite authors to submit full-length articles, short communications, and novel research articles that explore particular magneto-optical phenomena.

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. 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.
