Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit articles to this Special Issue of Metals, entitled “Magnetic Properties Analysis of Amorphous and Partially Crystallized Alloys.”
Amorphous magnetic materials have long-range, disordered atomic structures, being described as either ferromagnetic, loose ferromagnetic, ferromagnetic or loose ferromagnetic. They have been rapidly developed globally as new types of magnetic material since the 1970s. As an energy-efficient and environment friendly technique, the magnetic refrigeration technique, based on the magneto-caloric effect (MCE) of the materials, is regarded as a promising alternative to conventional vapor-circle refrigeration technology. Magneto-caloric materials are usually divided into two types. Materials which undergo a first-order magnetic transition, including most of the crystalline variety, exhibit a sharp but narrow magnetic entropy change peak (-ΔSmpeak). In contrast, materials which undergo a second-order magnetic transition, including amorphous alloys and a small amount of crystalline alloys, show a broadened but low magnetic entropy change peak and this results in high RC. Amongst the the key challenges in the field of magnetic refrigerants is in obtaining a combination of the high table-like magnetic entropy change and movements across the ice point of water within different temperature ranges.
Research areas may include, but should not be limited to, the issue of magnetic refrigeration 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. Metals 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 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.
