Abstract:
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a highly versatile
spectroscopy method widely used in diverse disciplines, but its
sensitivity and spatial resolution are limited by the inductive
measurement of magnetic nuclei. Nano-NMR methods are emerging that aim
to measure a single nuclear spin—an improvement in sensitivity of 13
orders of magnitude. The main workhorse of these methods has been
atomic defects in diamond, which have distinctive optical and magnetic
properties. In this talk I will review the status of the field and
present our recent results.
