Low dimensionality effects in magnetic materials
Magnetism is a fascinating property that underpins a broad range of functions in both naturally occurring and engineered materials, as well as in Earth and environmental systems. Recent advances in the understanding, characterisation, and utilisation of magnetism in nanoscale and low dimensional materials have revealed a wide range of new phenomena and potential applications. This Special Topic will capture new directions in magnetic materials and devices, relating surfaces, interfaces and confinement effects to static and dynamic magnetic behavior. Studies utilising experimental, theoretical, and numerical magnetic approaches, together or separately, are welcomed in this issue.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Nanoscale magnetism
- Magnetic materials in nanoscale devices
- Synthesis of novel magnetic particles
- Growth and patterning of magnetic materials
- Geometrical confinement and its effect on magnetic states and switching processes
- Self-assembly of magnetic structures, both in nature and in the presence of external stimuli
- Influence of surfaces, interfaces, and confinement on magnetism
- Influence of defects and influences on magnetism
- Magnetic imaging and microscopy
- Magnetic imaging and dynamics
- New magnetic materials
- Topological magnetism
