Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic field sensors, including superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID), giant magnetoresistance (GMR), SERF (spin exchange relaxation-free), Hall sensors, as well as NV magnetometers, are indispensable in a wide range of industrial and scientific fields. Nowadays, fetotesla to picotesla sensitivity under various conditions have been achieved using the magnetometers mentioned above with small volume, especially in cardiac magnetography and magnetoencephalography, geomagnetic measurements, and metal contaminant detection, etc. Therefore, the focus of this Special Issue is on promising portable magnetometers and their application by decreasing the sensing volume and enhancing the magnetic field sensitivity with integrated technologies, MEMS, chip-scale processing, and even microsystem technologies. This Special Issue calls for original research papers and reviews detailing state-of-the-art results on these topics.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
