High-resolution wide-field magnetic imaging with sparse sampling using nitrogen-vacancy centers

Keqing Liu, Jiazhao Tian, Bokun Duan +7

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond enable quantitative magnetic imaging, yet practical implementations must balance spatial resolution against acquisition time (and thus per-…

Detecting and polarizing nuclear spins with double resonance on a single electron spin

P. London, J. Scheuer, J. -M. Cai +11

We report the detection and polarization of nuclear spins in diamond at room temperature by using a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. We use Hartmann-Hahn double resonance to co…
