Magnetostrictive Sensors: Principle, Design and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetostrictive sensors boast a multitude of exceptional advantages. Leveraging the direct magnetostrictive effect, these sensors enable precise detection of liquid concentration, bacterial quantification, and beyond. Conversely, sensors utilizing the inverse magnetostrictive effect excel in measuring diverse forces and torques. Beyond these applications, a broad spectrum of magnetostrictive sensor variants exists, all sharing a unique capability—wireless and passive operation in harsh environments, eliminating reliance on physical wiring or external power sources. This Topic, "Magnetostrictive Sensors: Principle, Design and Applications", aims to establish a premier knowledge-sharing platform for researchers in the magnetostrictive field.

We seek to compile cutting-edge research contributions from around the globe, encompassing (but not limited to) the following domains:

• Magnetostrictive materials (innovations and characterizations);
• Emerging mechanisms in magnetostriction-based sensing;
• Novel magnetostrictive sensor designs;
• Chemical sensing applications (e.g., concentration detection);
• Mechanical force/torque measurement systems;
• Sensitivity enhancement techniques;
• Accuracy improvement strategies;
• Range expansion methodologies;
• Decoupling approaches for multi-dimensional force sensing;
• Any other innovative aspects of magnetostrictive materials and sensors.

We warmly invite submissions that advance theoretical understanding, experimental methodologies, or practical applications in this dynamic field.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
