Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this special issue is to give the opportunity to researchers working in different fields related to the "Magnetic Properties of Nanomaterials" to submit manuscripts: review papers, full articles and short communications.
New magnetic materials are emerging, and their various applications demonstrate that they are essential in our everyday lives. Hard, semi-hard and soft magnetic nanomaterials allow a significant improvement in energy conversion. Thus, these nanomaterials play a key role in addressing today's challenges and particularly those concerning the reduction of fossil fuel consumption and climate change.
Nanomaterials offer a wide range of possibilities in terms of both synthesis and characterization. The changes in properties that occur at such a small scale allow the discovery of innovative and promising properties. In the field of magnetism, several characteristic dimensions are found at the nanoscale, such as the domain wall thickness and the exchange length in hard magnetic phases. In the case of magnetic recording media, nanoscaling allows the increasing of the surface density of the data storage. As for permanent magnets, the energy product has been successfully improved through using nanocomposite phases.
This special issue focuses on many areas of magnetic nanomaterial applications (giant magnetoresistance, automotive applications, high density recording media, magnetic refrigeration, biomedicine...).
Contributions may cover topics such as theoretical work and ab initio calculations, the characterization of magnetic compounds, spintronic materials, magnetic nanoparticles for recording media, shape memory effects, hard magnetic single and nanocomposite phases, and magnetocaloric effects.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
