Scanning NV Magnetometry - Quantilever on domains

Scanning NV Magnetometry

The first complete quantum nanoscope system

Scanning NV Magnetometry enables quantitative and non-perturbative analysis of surface magnetic fields. Such AFM based technique is making use of NV quantum technology.

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is an atomic-scale defect in diamond. It hosts an electronic spin that can be initialized and detected optically, making it an exceptional system for quantum sensing of magnetic phenomena at room temperature. In Scanning NV Magnetometry, the NV center is incorporated in a scanning probe microscope (SPM), allowing to combine unique field sensitivity with nanometer spatial resolution. Qnami ProteusQ is the first scanning probe microscope making use of NV technology. It allows quantitative and non-perturbative analysis of surface magnetic fields at the nanoscale.

Webinar: Scanning NV Magnetometry with Qnami ProteusQ

by Prof. Patrick Maletinsky, Basel University

In this webinar, we present the Qnami ProteusQ, the first commercial SPM making use of NV quantum technology. Specifics of this quantum microscope, which enable quantitative and non-perturbative analysis of surface magnetic fields, will be discussed. We demonstrate the performance of this new characterization tool through magnetometry on antiferromagnetic systems and ultra-thin ferromagnets

Scanning NV Magnetometry technique explained

Earth’s magnetic field, quantum sensors can be precisely maneuvered over tiny magnetic structures to map and visualize magnetic properties with nanoscale resolution. This is achieved through a technique called Scanning NV Magnetometry. This white paper explains everything about this new technique.

Antiferromagnets are key contenders for next generation electronic devices, where they promise new functionality and improved performance. In this recent publication in “Nature Materials”, the authors were able to image and understand a novel type of chiral spin-textures occurring on BiFeO3’s domain-walls, which had never been observed before.

Antiferromagnetic thin films are currently generating considerable excitement for low dissipation magnonics and spintronics. In this recent publication in “Nature Communications”, the authors imaged a wide variety of antiferromagnetic spin textures in multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films that can be tuned by strain and manipulated by electric fields through room-temperature magnetoelectric coupling.
