CALL FOR PAPERS
Spin engineering mostly concentrates on the manipulation of spin degrees of
freedom in various magnetic materials and the exploration of their potential
applications in spintronics. Owing to the unique dimensionality effect, nanoscale
magnetic materials have shown a series of unusual properties, which are further
amenable to the modulation of diverse physical fields. Thus, the research on spin
engineering in magnetic nanostructures and devices emerges to be a very promising
research field. Current examples for the applications of spin engineering in magnetic
nanostructures and devices are increasingly ample, ranging from the development of
single molecular magnet as qubits to the fullerene-based quantum computation, as
well as from molecular memory devices to nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
and electron paramagnetic resonance. Therefore, the spin engineering in magnetic
nanostructures, including theoretical modeling, experimental demonstration, and
device design for applications, is demanding multidisciplinary backgrounds of
knowledge and technology which create great challenges for researchers.
