Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many sophisticated research experiments and applications rely on the measurement of extremely weak magnetic fields (biomagnetism, nanomagnetism, molecular magnetism, magnetic microscopy, etc.). Hence, in recent decades, many efforts have been devoted toward the development of different ultrasensitive magnetic sensors, such as the atomic magnetometer based on the detection of the Larmor spin precession of optically pumped atoms, hybrid magnetometers based on giant magnetoresistance spin valves, diamond magnetometers based on nitrogen-vacancy centers in room-temperature diamond, and micro and nano superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). In addition, in the last years, molecular magnetism with the re-introduction of lanthanide ions as spin carriers in magnetic molecules is very promising in view of the applications to spintronic devices, qubit, and multifunctional materials.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present an overview of the development of magnetic quantum sensor and their applications. Both original research articles and reviews are encouraged.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Applied Sciences.

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. Magnetochemistry 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 2200 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.
