Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

A magnetic sensor can be defined as follows:  a sensitive element whose magnetic properties can be changed when affected by magnetic fields, current, heat, light, pressure, etc., and transform these stimuli into an electrical signal. Various magnetic sensor with good performance can be made using these substances. Today, magnetic sensors have become an indispensable cornerstone component in the information technology and information industries.

Currently, with the development of microelectronics technology, people have developed magnetic sensor chips using various physical, chemical and biological effects via micro-nano processing technology, which have been widely used in scientific research production and various aspects of society.

To promote the development of magnetic sensor chips and strengthen academic communication and innovations, we are launching this Special Issue, "Magnetic sensor chips and applications", which will focus on new magnetic sensor chip design, simulation, and fabrication, micro/nano fabrication of magnetic materials including metals, organic compounds, alloys, 2D materials, and any materials used in magnetic sensor, as well as the applications of magnetic sensor chips, such as current detecting, navigation, bio-detecting, angle detecting, non-destructive testing, etc. We are convinced that this Special Issue will play a beneficial role in promoting the future research of magnetic sensor chips and their applications.

A sensitive non-contact sensing system based on the CoFeNiSiB amorphous ribbon giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect is proposed for current testing. The sensing system consists of a GMI probe, a sinusoidal current generator, a voltage follower, a preamplifier, a low-pass filter, and a peak detector. Four different GMI probes derived from amorphous ribbon meanders are designed and fabricated through MEMS processes. GMI probes were driven by a 10 MHz, 5 mA AC current. A permanent magnet was used to provide a bias magnetic field for the probe. The effect of the bias magnetic field on the output DC voltage was investigated. This non-contact current sensing system exhibits good sensitivity and linearity at a bias magnetic field Hbias = 15 Oe. The sensitivity can reach up to 24.2 mV/A in the ±1.5 A range. Full article
