Magnetic Shielding for Electromagnetic Compatibility Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Electromagnetic shielding at lower frequencies frequently concentrates on the magnetic field.

Applications for shielding include:

• Space exploration, where spacecraft systems and sensors need to be shielded from significant fields in a harsh environment.
• Medical equipment isolation, where sensor systems need high levels of magnetic shielding or other systems need to be protected from high field measurement equipment.
• Human exposure protection; given the rise in electric and “more electric” vehicles and higher levels of wireless power charging, high currents are being transported close to humans, potentially increasing low frequency exposure.
• Isolation of electrical transformers and switchgear.

There are many research fronts, including:

• Optimization of shield designs (including weight reduction).
• Novel materials and material characterization (including metamaterial research).
• Active magnetic shielding.
• Application assessments and performance verification.
• Measurement techniques.
• Lifecycle assessment.

The objective of this Special Issue is to collate leading research on the subject to act as a reference for emerging applications and further contemporary research.

Hence, we are seeking papers related (but not limited) to these research fronts and applications. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Electronics.

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. Magnetism is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
