Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A magnetometer is a device for the measurement of certain magnetic field parameters. Magnetometers are built on a wide variety of principles of physics. Each type of magnetometer has its own advantages and disadvantages, but it is very important to achieve the best metrological characteristics for the device. The main metrological characteristics are sensitivity, accuracy, range of detected magnetic field, and sampling rate. It is very important to optimize the technical characteristics of the magnetometer, such as weight, portability and compactness, energy consumption, reliability, and self-sustainment. Therefore, each field of application of the magnetometer demands its own set of characteristics. Metrology of magnetic measurement, in general, and accurateness of the metrological verification of declared characteristics, in particular, are the relevant aspects for the estimation of magnetometer sensitivity. There has been significant progress in quantum magnetometers research and development in the last decade. New results were obtained in an application of the magnetometers for biomagnetic investigations and from the search for new types of interactions in fundamental physics. This Special Issue reflects at least part of the progress.

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.
