Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic sensors and magnetometers are encountered and widely used for a large palette of applications in almost all the branches of industry and engineering. They are also key elements and have a wide range of applications in biomedical, space, and scientific research. The interest in these sensors among the scientific community all around the world is still growing and is well- justified by the will to meet new measurement challenges and conquer new applications. These great and different demands lead to the emergence of many types of magnetic sensors, with different physical principles and different characteristics and performances.
This Special Issue provides an overview of the state of the art of both emerging and commonly used technologies of magnetic sensors, including sensor design, performance, and applications, with an emphasis on new concepts and new applications in all areas.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following themes:
Sensors technology, sensor design, and performance:
- hall effect
- giant magnetoimpedance (GMI)
- magnetoresistance MR (anisotropic AMR, tunneling TMR, giant GMR)
- fluxgate
- search coil
- magnetoelastic
- magnetoelectric
- optically pumped atomic magnetometers
- SQUID
- nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
- magnonics
Applications:
- magnetic sensors for biomedical and healthcare applications
- magnetic sensors for electric current measurements and electrical engineering (power electronics, smart grids, etc.)
- magnetic sensors in robotics
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- magnetic sensors in electric vehicles and other automotive applications
- geophysics
- non-destructive testing (NDT
- space and security applications
- measurement of non-magnetic quantities (examples: position, proximity and displacement sensors, etc.)

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
