Optically Detected Scanned Probe Magnetic Resonance Imaging

ORAL

Abstract

Magnetic resonance is a powerful tool for studying magnetic properties and dynamics of spin systems. Scanned magnetic probes can induce spatially localized resonance due to the strong magnetic field and gradient near the magnetic tip.\footnote{K.C. Fong, M.R. Herman, P. Banerjee, D.V. Pelekhov, and P.C. Hammel, Phys. Rev. B 84, 220405(R) (2011).}$^,$\footnote{I. Lee, Y. Obukhov, G. Xiang, A. Hauser, F. Yang, P. Banerjee, D.V. Pelekhov, and P.C. Hammel, Nature 466, 845 (2010).} Nitrogen vacancy centers (NV) in diamond provide a sensitive means of measuring magnetic fields at the nanoscale. We report preliminary results towards using the high sensitivity of NV detection with a scanned magnetic probe to study local magnetic phenomena.
