Magnetic materials with potential technological interest are the center of interest of this research line. Magnetic nanomaterials have attracted the interest of the scientific community over the years because of their unique and promising properties almost in every field of science and technology. Modern technology is largely equipped with some kind of magnetic materials, and with the advancement of nanotechnology, research in the field of magnetism has achieved new horizons.
We invite papers on multifunctional magnetic materials, to address the phenomena such as the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic properties of functional and size-controlled magnetic materials, starting at the nanoscale level, the correlation between macroscopic physical properties and the microscopic electronic structure of mixed oxides, quantum, and collective phenomena at low temperatures on magnets with different size scales, as well as the thermal, magnetic and optical properties of molecular magnets and intermetallics with high magneto-caloric effect. There is growing evidence linking magnetic nanoparticles to hyperthermia, drug delivery, imaging, and biomolecule extraction, positing them as an important cancer treatment tool as well. The special issue will cover studies of a great variety of magnetic materials and their potential applications in the Biomedical field. Researchers, Academicians, and students are invited to submit their articles to the special issue of the journal to attract readers for their potential and novel work.
