Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic sensors and actuators are playing an increasingly important role in most industries, such as electrical engineering, medicine, computer science, construction monitoring, electronic surveillance, automotive or aviation industries. It is expected that the global market for magnetic sensors and actuators will grow due to high demand from the rapidly growing industries mentioned above. Therefore, the development of high-performance sensors and actuators adapted to the requirements of the industries has attracted increasing attention from researchers and engineers working in sensorics.
Recent trends in magnetic sensorics are based on fundamental research and the use of new materials and phenomena and are focused on miniaturization of sensors and actuators, improving their characteristics, searching for new operating principles, and developing new magnetic materials.
This Special Issue will be focused on the latest scientific results, the latest developments, novel ideas on the development of highly sensitive magnetic devices and applications, magnetic sensing technology, basic phenomena and fundamental studies of new magnetic materials suitable for magnetic sensors, actuators and applications, as well as wireless nondestructive control and monitoring, wearable electronics, and medicine using magnetic sensors.
Both reviews and original research papers will be considered. Review papers should provide an up-to-date, well-balanced overview of the current state-of-the-art in a particular application and include the main results from other groups.
The topics of this Special Issue encompass but are not restricted to the following areas:
- Magnetic sensors and actuators including Hall-effect devices, magnetometers, magnetoimpedance sensors, magnetoresistance sensors, magnetoelastic sensors, and flexible electronics;
- Novel and advanced magnetic materials for sensor and actuator applications and their advanced processing;
- Fundamentals and physics involving basic effects, theory, and modeling of magnetic sensors;
- Magnetic measurements and instrumentation, measurement standards;
- Smart materials and composites for wireless and nondestructive monitoring of external stimuli, including tunable metamaterials;
- Development of magnetic sensor and actuator applications, including in the biomedicine, electronic surveillance, electrical engineering, informatics, magnetic recording, construction monitoring, automobile and aircraft industries, among others.
This special issue is focused more on actuators. Papers focus on sensors may choose our joint special issue in Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220, IF 3.275).
We look forward for your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

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. Actuators is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
