Special Issue on Rare Earth Functional Materials

Rare Earth Functional Materials (REFMs) refer to a class of advanced materials derived from rare earth elements (REEs)—comprising the 17 elements of Sc, Y, and the lanthanide series (La–Lu)—that exhibit exceptional optical, magnetic, electrical, and catalytic functionalities. These materials constitute the material foundation for numerous high-technology applications and are recognized globally as critical strategic materials. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Rare Earth Functional Materials.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Rare Earth Functional Materials. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Rare Earth Permanent Magnetic Materials
• Rare Earth Luminescent and Optical Materials
• Rare Earth Catalytic Materials
• Rare Earth Hydrogen Storage Materials
• Rare Earth Magnetocaloric and Cryogenic Materials
• Rare Earth Electronic and Dielectric Materials
• Rare Earth Electronic and Dielectric Materials
• Rare Earth Electronic and Dielectric Materials

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Rare Earth Functional Materials” should be selected during your submission.
