Journal of Nanomaterials Special Issue on Spin Engineering in Magnetic Nanostructures and Devices 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.
