Nanoscale imaging with NV centers in diamond

Vincent JACQUES, Isabelle ROBERT-PHILIP and Aurore FINCO

Quantum sensors exploit the extreme sensitivity of spins to external perturbations, allowing for exceptionally precise measurements of magnetic fields, electric fields, pressure, or temperature. Our team particularly uses NV centers in diamond to develop nanoscale, non-invasive, vector magnetic imaging, enabling the exploration of exotic magnetic textures in complex materials.

One main focus of our research leverages the unique capabilities of these sensors to study exotic magnetic textures in nanostructures and to address fundamental problems in condensed matter physics, both at room temperature and at low temperature, with a particular interest in antiferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and two-dimensional magnetic materials. Another research direction profits from the high versatility of NV centers  , capable of simultaneously measuring multiple physical quantities on a single platform (magnetic field, electric field, magnetic noise), to open new opportunities for multi-parameter quantum imaging.
