Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For this Special Issue of Sensors on “Sensing the Physics of Materials in Extremes”, we invite world-class experts to stimulate a vibrant discussion on state-of-the-art experimental techniques, numerical, and theoretical tools aiming to sense and understand the physical properties of both conventional as well as strongly correlated electron materials, and their phase transitions and emergent properties, under extreme conditions, such as high continuous and pulsed magnetic fields, high pressures, high electrical currents, high voltages, radiation, and/or an extended temperature range. These probes include optical, electronic, piezoelectric, mechanical, such as torque and torsional sensing, dilatometry, resonant, magnetic, pulse–echo, pump–probe, scattering, and broadly defined susceptometry, among others, which are becoming invaluable tools in basic research of novel materials.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.

In order to precisely determine the magnesium level in a titanium reduction retort by inductive methods, many interfering influences have to be considered. By using a look-up-table method, the magnesium level can be reliably identified by taking into account the interfering effects of the titanium sponge rings forming at the walls with their unknown geometrical and electrical parameters. This new method uses a combination of numerical simulations and measurements, whereby the simulation model is calibrated so that it represents the experimental setup as closely as possible. Previously, purely theoretical studies on this method were presented. Here, the practical feasibility of that method is demonstrated by performing measurements on a model experiment. The method is not limited to the production of titanium but can also be applied to other applications in metal production and processing. Full article
