Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of novel topological spin structures such as chiral magnetic domain walls, skyrmions, antiskyrmions, merons, antimerons, etc., in chiral magnets is one of the most interesting and intriguing topics in condensed-matter research. In addition to their fundamental importance, these spin textures are useful for applications in information technologies and neuromorphic computing. Possible manipulation of these spin textures by external means, e.g., spin-polarized currents, spin waves, and magnetic and electric fields, has opened up new perspectives for the realization of energy-efficient multifunctional devices. In recent years, tremendous theoretical and experimental efforts have been dedicated to the fundamental understanding, observation, and manipulation of these spin textures.
The aim of the present Special Issue is to bring manuscripts dealing with the topological spin textures under the same umbrella, providing readers with an overview of state-of-the-art research on the topic. Both fundamental as well as applied research shall be covered.
Submit your paper and select the Journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “Topological Spin Textures: From Fundamentals to Applications” via: MDPI submission system. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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. Symmetry 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 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.
