This book gathers, for the first time, an overview of nearly all of the magnetic sensors that exist today. The book is offering the readers a thorough and comprehensive knowledge from basics to state-of-the-art and is therefore suitable for both beginners and experts. From the more common and popular AMR magnetometers and up to the recently developed NV center magnetometers, each chapter is describing a specific type of sensor and providing all the information that is necessary to understand the magnetometer behavior including theoretical background, noise model, materials, electronics, design and fabrication techniques, etc.

Offers a thorough and comprehensive knowledge from basics to state-of-the-art in the field of High Sensitivity Magnetometers and is therefore suitable for both beginners and experts Gathers, for the first time, an overview of all of the magnetic sensors that exist today Covers more than 20 types of sensors, providing all the information that is necessary to understand the magnetometer behavior including theoretical background, materials, electronics, design and fabrication techniques, etc. Presents the state-of-the-art results in respect of the sensor resolution, power consumption, size, etc. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
