Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in magnetic functional materials have played a key role in driving technological innovation across industries, with applications in various fields such as electronics, energy, medical diagnostics, and spintronics due to their unique magnetic properties and functions. With the growing demand for efficient energy conversion, high-density data storage, and precision sensing solutions, the development of novel magnetic functional materials is becoming increasingly important.
Magnetic functional materials have been developed from traditional ferromagnetic alloys to complex nanocomposites and multi-functional hybrid materials, such as new permanent magnet materials, skyrmions, magnetic semiconductors, magnetic shape memory alloys, giant magnetoresistive materials, and so on. The aims of this Special Issue are to highlight the innovative synthesis methods, unique physical properties, and promising applications of these materials. We encourage contributions that explore novel material systems, reveal underlying mechanisms, and demonstrate the practical implications of these advances.
Potential authors are invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on all aspects of magnetic functional materials. Contributions that integrate theoretical modeling, experimental techniques, and technological implementations are strongly encouraged to capture the multifaceted nature of this vibrant field. Through this Special Issue, we aim to foster collaborations, inspire new research directions, and promote the continued progress of magnetic functional 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. 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.
