Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to offer a paper for the Special Issue “Recent Advances in Functional Magnetic Nanomaterials”. Traditional magnetic materials have been successfully applied in numerous fields for more than a century, and their further progress is challenging. For future progress of magnetism, current attention needs to be paid to novel nanoscale magnetic materials that are promising for important advanced functional application in the future.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers concerning recent research advances in the field of magnetic nanomaterials that are widely belived to be potential important future applications. The paper subject relates to the scope of the journal Materials by focusing on the improvement of basic material performance that appears to be significant for future applications.
For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Ultrathin non-magnet/magnet multilayer exploited in the field of memory, such as STT-MRAM or SOT-MRAM, novel neuromorphic computing such as probabilistic computing, the function of a synapse in an artificial neural network, etc.
- Ultrafast spin dynamics in an antiferromagnetic (AFM) or ferromagnetic (FiM) medium, such as the relativistic motion of an AFM or FiM texture driven by SOT or voltage, the emission and manipulation of THz signals from an AFM or FiM medium driven by optical or electrical techniques.
- Multifunctional magnetic sensors based on coupling magnetism and other physcial principles, such as magnetic field sensors triggered by a surface acoustic wave based on magnetoelastic coupling, quantum magnetic-field sensors, and so on.
- The improvement of the performance of a magnetic sensor under an electrical field based on multiferroic behaviors, such as the adjustment of sensitivity, linearity, noise, and resolution by an external electric field.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
