(a) Stages in the formation of arrays of rolled-up semiconductor and polymer 3D shells. The rolling of strained films in a tube scroll occurs after their separation from the substrate by selective liquid etching [13]. (b) Schematic representation of a rolled-up multilayer GMR sensor for the in-flow detection of magnetic objects inside a microfluidic channel [124]. Copyright 2011, American Chemical Society.

Top row: circular magnetization without a longitudinal component (azimuthal) and with a longitudinal component (helical). Bottom row: radial and longitudinal magnetization. (d) Tracking the trajectory in magnetic field of a rolled-up magnetic coil with in-plane magnetization [125].
