The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a point defect in diamond with unique properties for use in ultra-sensitive, high-resolution magnetometry. One of the most interesting and challenging applications is nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging (nano-MRI). While many review papers have covered other NV centers in diamond applications, there is no survey targeting the specific development of nano-MRI devices based on NV centers in diamond. Several different nano-MRI methods based on NV centers have been proposed with the goal of improving the spatial and temporal resolution, but without any coordinated effort. After summarizing the main NV magnetic imaging methods, this review presents a survey of the latest advances in NV center nano-MRI.

The paper describes application of diamond nano crystals to research on dynamic processes in small (less than 1 mm across) evaporating droplets deposited on a solid substrate. Such droplets are used as a model system for testing proposed bio applications of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. We demonstrate that a high spatial resolution of our methods reveals unexpected features of the evaporation and fluid mechanics in such droplets.

ABSTRACTWe have developed a novel, high-resolution magnetic imaging technique, scanning-ion microscopy with polarization analysis (SIMPA). In SIMPA, a highly-focused, scanning Ga+ ion beam is used to excite spin-polarized electrons at surfaces of ferromagnetic Materials. By Measuring the intensity and the spin polarization of the emitted electrons using a newly developed, compact mott polarimeter, topographic and magnetic images of magnetic structures are obtained. We report on first SIMPA studies on single-crystalline Fe samples.

Abstract Diamond solid-state devices are very attractive to electrically control the charge state of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers. In this work, Vertical p-type Diamond Schottky Diode (VDSDs) is introduced as a platform to electrically control the interconversion between the neutral charge NV (NV0) and negatively charged NV (NV-) centers. The photoluminescence (PL) of NV centers generated by ion-implantation in VDSDs shows the increase of NV- Zero Phonon Line (ZPL) and phonon sideband (PBS) intensities with the reverse voltage, whereas the NV0 ZPL intensity decreases. Thus, NV centers embedded into VDSDs are converted into NV- under reverse bias voltage. Moreover, the optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) of NV- exhibits an increase in the ODMR contrast with the reverse bias voltage and splitting of the resonance dips. Since no magnetic is applied, such a dip splitting in ODMR spectrum is ascribed the Stark effect induced by the interaction of NV- with the electric field existing within the depletion region of VDSDs.
