Presented in-person in Goergen 101 and on Zoom
Abstract
Quantum sensors, such as Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds, allow us to image magnetic fields with micron-scale spatial resolution and mm-sized field of view at room temperature. NV diamond quantum sensors are used for geosciences, biosciences, electronics testing, and material science research. In this talk, I will give an overview of NV diamond quantum sensors and their applications. More specifically, I will discuss our work on imaging current flow through novel 2D materials via measuring the generated magnetic fields, as well as our studies of magnetic biomaterials.
