The ever-increasing demand for high-capacity rechargeable batteries highlights the need for sensitive and accurate diagnostic technology for determining the state of a cell, for identifying and localizing defects, or for sensing capacity loss mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate the use of atomic magnetometry to map the weak induced magnetic fields around a Li-ion battery cell as a function of state of charge and upon introducing mechanical defects. These measurements provide maps of the magnetic susceptibility of the cell, which follow trends characteristic for the battery materials under study upon discharge. In addition, the measurements reveal hitherto unknown long time-scale transient internal current effects, which were particularly pronounced in the overdischarged regime. The diagnostic power of this technique is promising for the assessment of cells in research, quality control, or during operation, and could help uncover details of charge storage and failure processes in cells.

Solid state battery technology is motivated by the desire to deliver flexible power storage in a safe and efficient manner. The increasingly widespread use of batteries from mass-production facilities highlights the need for a rapid and sensitive dia gnostic for identifying battery defects. We demonstrate the use of atomic magnetometry to measure the magnetic fields around miniature solid-state battery cells. These fields encode information about battery manufacturing defects, state of charge, impurities, or can provide important insights into ageing processes. Compared with SQUID-based magnetometry, the availability of atomic magnetometers, however, highlights the possibility for a low-cost, portable, and flexible implementation of battery quality-control and characterization technology.
An improved spatial magnetometer using a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate of $^{87}$Rb atoms is realized utilizing newly developed two-polarization phase contrast imaging. The optical shot noise is suppressed by carefully choosing the probe parameters . We attain a dc-magnetic field sensitivity of 7.7 ${rm pT/sqrt{Hz}}$ over a measurement area of 28 ${rm mu m^{2}}$. The attained sensitivity per unit area is superior to that for other modern low-frequency magnetometers with micrometer-order spatial resolution. This result is a promising step for realizing quantum-enhanced magnetometry surpassing classical methods.
The reversible heat in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to entropy change is fundamentally important for understanding the chemical reactions in LIBs and developing proper thermal management strategies. However, the direct measurements of reversible heat are challenging due to the limited temperature resolution of applied thermometry. In this work, by developing an ultra-sensitive thermometry with a differential AC bridge using two thermistors, the noise-equivalent temperature resolution we achieve (10 uK) is several orders of magnitude higher than previous thermometry applied on LIBs. We directly observe reversible heat absorption of a LIR2032 coin cell during charging with negligible irreversible heat generation and a linear relation between heat generations and discharging currents. The cell entropy changes determined from the reversible heat agree excellently with those measured from temperature dependent open circuit voltage. Moreover, it is found that the large reversible entropy change can cancel out the irreversible entropy generation at a charging rate as large as C/3.7 and produce a zero-heat-dissipation LIB during charging. Our work significantly contributes to fundamental understanding of the entropy changes and heat generations of the chemical reactions in LIBs, and reveals that reversible heat absorption can be an effective way to cool LIBs during charging.

Atomic magnetometers are highly sensitive detectors of magnetic fields that monitor the evolution of the macroscopic magnetic moment of atomic vapors, and opening new applications in biological, physical, and chemical science. However, the performanc e of atomic magnetometers is often limited by hidden systematic effects that may cause misdiagnosis for a variety of applications, e.g., in NMR and in biomagnetism. In this work, we uncover a hitherto unexplained interference effect in atomic magnetometers, which causes an important systematic effect to greatly deteriorate the accuracy of measuring magnetic fields. We present a standard approach to detecting and characterizing the interference effect in, but not limited to, atomic magnetometers. As applications of our work, we consider the effect of the interference in NMR structural determination and locating the brain electrophysiological symptom, and show that it will help to improve the measurement accuracy by taking interference effects into account. Through our experiments, we indeed find good agreement between our prediction and the asymmetric amplitudes of resonant lines in ultralow-field NMR spectra -- an effect that has not been understood so far. We anticipate that our work will stimulate interesting new researches for magnetic interference phenomena in a wide range of magnetometers and their applications.
Vector magnetometry was studied using the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) with linear $perp$ linear ($lin perp lin$) polarization of the probe and the pump beams in $^{87}Rb$ - $D_2$ transition. The dependence of the EIT on the directi on of the quantization axis and the relative orientation of the polarization of the applied electric fields was studied experimentally. We have shown that from the relative strengths of the $sigma$ and $pi$ EIT peaks, the direction of the magnetic field can be found. Moreover from the relative separation between the $sigma$ and $pi$ EIT peaks, the strengths of the magnetic field can be calculated. We have also demonstrated that the EIT peak amplitudes show oscillatory behaviour depending upon the orientation of the laser polarization relative to the magnetic field direction. Using the positions of the maxima and minima, the direction of the magnetic field can be calculated. To understand the experimental observation, a theoretical study has been done numerically considering all the thirteen Zeeman sub-levels. Apart from the numerical model, a toy model has also been considered to obtain an analytical response of the medium considering the velocity distribution. The dependencies of the magnetic field direction and the polarization direction of the electric fields have been explicitly derived in the analytical model. Further the direction of the magnetic field is calculated using the analytical solution. This study can be helpful in order to make an EIT based atomic vector magnetometer at room temperature.
