Aims & Scope

Nanomagnetism and Magnetic Nanoparticles (NMN) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to:

  • Publish rigorously reviewed original research and critical reviews that advance the science and engineering of magnetic phenomena at the nanoscale.
  • Provide an international forum linking fundamental physics, materials chemistry, and device/application engineering in nanomagnetism and magnetic nanoparticles.
  • Promote reproducibility and robust metrology by encouraging standardized reporting, data sharing, and benchmark/round-robin studies across synthesis, characterization, and modeling.

Nanomagnetism and Magnetic Nanoparticles (NMN) is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

Scope

Nanomagnetism and Magnetic Nanoparticles (NMN) welcomes Research Articles, Short Communications, Reviews, Perspectives, Methods/Protocols, Data/Metrology Papers, and Standards/Best-Practice Reports.

NMN publishes papers that focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Materials & Architectures: Design, synthesis, processing, and stability of magnetic nanoparticles, thin films, nanowires, 2D magnets, heterostructures, core–shell and hybrid/biofunctional systems; control of anisotropy, exchange bias, dipolar coupling, and defect engineering.
  • Phenomena & Dynamics: Static and dynamic magnetization processes; electromagnetic interactions; Néel/Brownian relaxation; spin textures (vortices, skyrmions), magnonics, spin transport and spin-caloritronics, magneto-ionic effects, magneto-optical and magneto-mechanical couplings, stochastic and quantum effects in ultrasmall magnets.
  • Characterization & Metrology: SQUID/VSM, MOKE, FMR/MPS, XMCD/XAS, polarized neutrons, Lorentz TEM, MFM, NV magnetometry, and related microscopies; in situ/in operando studies under field, frequency, temperature, stress, light, or flow; reporting standards and uncertainty analysis.
  • Modeling & Data: First-principles (DFT), atomistic spin dynamics, micromagnetics, Monte Carlo, multiphysics/multiscale models; inverse design, machine learning, and surrogate models with validation against experiment.
  • Colloids, Assemblies & Soft Matter: Field-driven self-assembly, interparticle interactions, ferrofluids and rheology, collective phenomena, and structure–property–function relationships in dispersions and gels.

Applications:

  • Biomedicine: Magnetic hyperthermia, imaging/contrast and sensing, magnetomechanical actuation, targeted delivery, magnetogenetics, nanozyme activity and catalysis; biocompatibility, toxicology, and regulatory considerations.
  • Energy & Environment: Advanced oxidation and separations, catalytic processes, magnetocaloric materials, magnetic sorbents, recycling and lifecycle aspects.
  • Information & Devices: Spintronics/MRAM, sensors and actuators, RF/microwave components, micro/nanorobotics, power and signal applications.
  • Translational & Industrialization Aspects: Scalability, batch-to-batch reproducibility, long-term stability, standards, and application-driven performance metrics.
