Magnetization and Magnetic Disorder at the Nanoscale

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic oxides are among the most important classes of magnetic materials. Because of the wide field of potential applications, they have been studied intensively for many years. With the advent of nanotechnologies, researchers’ interests in their specific magnetic properties as related to the nano-dimensions has grown considerably in view of finding novel applications in nanoelectronics, spintronics, communication technologies, electromagnetic absorption and shielding, biomedicine, theranostics, sensorics, water treatment, and catalysis, to name few. This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in the synthesis and investigations of the structural and magnetic properties of nanosized magnetic materials, with an emphasis on the influence of the nanosized state on the magnetic arrangement in the volume and magnetic disorders on the nanoparticle surface. Special attention will be paid to novel trends in the techniques of synthesis, as well as to revealing new properties and finding new applications of soft and hard magnetic oxides. We welcome reports focusing on new results concerning the structural and magnetic properties of different types of magnetic oxides in both powder and bulk forms, or as composites and thin or thick films. The Special Issue is open to articles (reviews or original manuscripts) dealing with experimental and theoretical research regarding magnetic materials.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
