Over the years, an enormous effort has been made to establish nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond as easily accessible and precise magnetic field sensors. However, most of their sensing protocols rely on the application of bias magnetic fields, preventing their usage in zero- or low-field experiments. We overcome this limitation by exploiting the full spin $S=1$ nature of the NV center, allowing us to detect nuclear spin signals at zero- and low-field with a linearly polarized microwave field. As conventional dynamical decoupling protocols fail in this regime, we develop new robust pulse sequences and optimized pulse pairs, which allow us to sense temperature and weak AC magnetic fields and achieve an efficient decoupling from environmental noise. The sensing scheme is applicable to common NV center based setups and opens new frontiers for the application of NV centers as magnetic field sensors in the zero- and low-field regime.
Hybrid quantum devices, in which disparate quantum elements are combined in order to achieve enhanced functionality, have received much attention in recent years due to their exciting potential to address key problems in quantum information processin
We demonstrate a robust experimental method for determining the depth of individual shallow Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond with $sim1$ nm uncertainty. We use a confocal microscope to observe single NV centers and detect the proton nuclear m
We report on wide-field optically detected magnetic resonance imaging of nitrogen-vacancy centers (NVs) in type IIa polycrystalline diamond. These studies reveal a heterogeneous crystalline environment that produces a varied density of NV centers, in
Shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are promising for nano-magnetometry for they can be placed proximate to targets. To study the intrinsic magnetic properties, zero-field magnetometry is desirable. However, for shallow NV centers under
Nano-NMR spectroscopy with nitrogen-vacancy centers holds the potential to provide high resolution spectra of minute samples. This is likely to have important implications for chemistry, medicine and pharmaceutical engineering. One of the main hurdle
