Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been a lot of study and application of metal and alloy materials. A multitude of functional (magnetic, dielectric, electrical, optical, and thermal) and mechanical responses and characteristics have been identified and described through their microstructural and structural characterization (including anisotropy and texture). Novel techniques for manufacturing and examination of these crystalline materials have been reported. Meanwhile, their application in the relevant industries and performance evaluation were presented. Many factors, including fine particle size, shape, capping, surfactant, doping, and defect structure, among many others, influence functional performance. Furthermore, such materials with specific chemical and physical properties for a certain application can be produced using a variety of chemical, physical, and mechanical procedures.
A general overview of the topic of crystalline materials, with potential extensions to the nanocrystalline field, is the focus of this Special Issue, “New Trends in Magnetic, Dielectric, Electrical, Optical, and Thermal Properties of Crystalline Materials”, which follows the previous Special Issue (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals/special_issues/516XCV9K09). These materials' applications, synthesis, simulation, and characterization, along with an examination of their structural, magnetic, dielectric, electrical, optical, and thermal properties, are all of interest.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
