Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The topic of magnetic sensors remains at the forefront of research on electromagnetic technology and devices. All kinds of well-established sensor technologies are continually being improved, along with new types of sensors being developed as well. To aid further advancement in scientific, research, and industrial applications, the dissemination of technical progress is critical. Thus, we cordially invite you to submit papers related to any type of magnetic sensors. We look forward to receiving your papers, especially on subjects related to challenges and difficulties related to industrial and technical applications of magnetic sensors; cross-discipline types of problems are also welcome.

Dr. Stan Zurek
Prof. Dr. Branko Koprivica

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.

Electromagnetic waves are widely used including in defense, biomedicine, and fundamental science. Their efficient detection determines how we communicate, defend against adversaries, diagnose diseases and perform search and rescue operations. In this article, exploiting the precession of a levitated magnetic particle in vacuum, we show that weak electromagnetic waves down to the femtotesla level can be detected. It is also shown that such a sensor has a large dynamic range over a millitesla, is continuously tunable over many gigahertz and can detect frequencies with sub-hertz resolutions. The direction of arrival of the incoming electromagnetic wave can also be found relatively easily. Full article
