研究目的
To develop a three-axis vector magnetometer using ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond for high-sensitivity magnetic field sensing at ambient temperature, suitable for applications like navigation and exploration.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a high-sensitivity three-axis vector magnetometer using NV centers in diamond, achieving a sensitivity of 5 nT/√Hz. The method is effective for full magnetic field vector reconstruction and has potential for single-chip applications, with future improvements possible through enhanced techniques.
研究不足
The sensitivity is currently ~5 nT/√Hz, which may be improved with better signal-to-noise ratio. The method requires precise control of external magnetic fields and is limited by the properties of the diamond sample.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment utilizes optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) technique with a single-crystal diamond sample containing NV centers. A theoretical model based on C3v symmetry is established for magnetic field calculation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A [111] bulk single-crystal diamond (
3:5 x 5 x 1 mm3, Sumitomo, HPHT, 10 ppm) is irradiated and annealed to create NV centers. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a 532 nm continuous-wave green laser (CL532-100-SO), a microwave signal generator (ROHDE & SCHWARZ SMA 100A), a copper loop antenna, a Si amplified detector (THORLABS PDA 100A-EC), and three-axis Helmholtz coils.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The diamond is excited with a 532 nm laser, and microwave frequencies are swept to induce spin transitions. Fluorescence is collected and analyzed to obtain ODMR spectra. External magnetic fields are applied using Helmholtz coils.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data is fitted with Lorentz functions to determine resonance frequencies, and magnetic field components are calculated using derived equations from the NV atom model.
