Pulsed Magnetic Fields and Its Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic fields are one of the most fundamental natural phenomena. There is a rich history for human beings to understand and utilize the magnetic field and its related phenomena. As early as 2,000 years ago, the Chinese began to notice and utilize the interaction between the geomagnetic field and a magnetized pointer for navigation purposes. From the 19^th century to the present, the exploration and exploitation of magnetic fields have been too innumerable to be listed, among which the pulsed magnet presents a technique toward the highest record of human-made magnetic field (50-2000 T, about 1–4 million times greater than the geomagnetic field, 5×10⁻⁶ T). Such pulsed magnet technology adopts the strategy of pulse mode (very short temporal duration (10⁻⁵~10⁻¹ s)) to relieve the induced Joule heating, and invents advanced reinforcement methods to conquer the induced mechanical stress, thus enabling the generation of extremely high amplitude for the magnetic field. By providing extreme high magnetic fields, such technique enables a powerful instrument for fundamental physical research and opens a wide application potentials.

The purpose of this Special Issus is to provide an open platform for scholars to share their latest progress in the generation, diagnosis, and applications of pulsed magnetic fields. Potential submission topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Advanced pulsed magnet technology, including the destructive and non-destructive approaches;
• High accuracy and low-cost diagnosis methods for pulsed magnetic fields;
• High-efficiency analytical/numerical modeling methods for pulsed magnetic fields;
• New insight into the pulsed magnetic field-related phenomena;
• Applications of pulsed magnetic fields I: Utilization on the force effect, such as metal working;
• Applications of pulsed magnetic fields II: Utilization on the magnetization effect;
• Applications of pulsed magnetic fields III: Utilization on other effects;
• Other interesting magnetic field phenomena and its applications.

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. Electronics 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 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.
