Application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to nanoscale samples has remained an elusive goal, achieved only with great experimental effort at subkelvin temperatures. We demonstrated detection of NMR signals from a (5-nanometer)3 voxel of various fluid and solid organic samples under ambient conditions. We used an atomic-size magnetic field sensor, a single nitrogen-vacancy defect center, embedded ~7 nanometers under the surface of a bulk diamond to record NMR spectra of various samples placed on the diamond surface. Its detection volume consisted of only 104 nuclear spins with a net magnetization of only 102 statistically polarized spins.

AbstractThe nitrogen vacancy defect centre in diamond has attracted intense research interest owing to their appealing optical and electronic properties, which have laid the ground for new approaches for diffraction unlimited optical methods. In particular, the optical detected magnetic resonance of the electron spin of nitrogen vacancy centre at room temperature underpins many areas in nanophotonics, spintronics and quantum optics. This article reviews the recent development of super-resolution imaging and sensing nanoscopy based on this fascinating defect centre in diamond. These breakthroughs are presently indicating a new class of nanoscale sensors of tiny magnetic and electric fields at room temperature, as well as emerging fluorescent and magnetic probes for next generation nanoscopy and all-optical spin recording.

Paramagnetic defects in solids have become attractive systems for quantum computing as well as magnetometry in recent years. One of the leading contenders is the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy defect (NV center) in diamond proposed to be highly promising with respect the afore-mentioned applications. In our study we investigate the NCVSi defect in 3C, 4H and 6H SiC as alternative choices with superior properties. Electronic structure of NV center in SiC exhibits S = 1 triplet ground state with the possibility of optical spin polarization. On the other hand, our results obtained by density functional theory calculations may contribute to unambiguously identify the possible defect configurations.
