Wide-field magnetometry can be realized by imaging the optically-detected magnetic resonance of diamond nitrogen vacancy (NV) center ensembles. However, NV ensemble inhomogeneities significantly limit the magnetic-field sensitivity of these measurements. We demonstrate a double-double quantum (DDQ) driving technique to facilitate wide-field magnetic imaging of dynamic magnetic fields at a micron scale. DDQ imaging employs four-tone radio frequency pulses to suppress inhomogeneity-induced variations of the NV resonant response. As a proof-of-principle, we use the DDQ technique to image the dc magnetic field produced by individual magnetic-nanoparticles tethered by single DNA molecules to a diamond sensor surface. This demonstrates the efficacy of the diamond NV ensemble system in high-frame-rate magnetic microscopy, as well as single-molecule biophysics applications.

We introduce a double quantum (DQ) 4-Ramsey measurement protocol that enables wide-field magnetic imaging using nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, with enhanced homogeneity of the magnetic sensitivity relative to conventional single quantum (S
Q) techniques. The DQ 4-Ramsey protocol employs microwave-phase alternation across four consecutive Ramsey (4-Ramsey) measurements to isolate the desired DQ magnetic signal from any residual SQ signal induced by microwave pulse errors. In a demonstration experiment employing a 1-$mu$m-thick NV layer in a macroscopic diamond chip, the DQ 4-Ramsey protocol provides volume-normalized DC magnetic sensitivity of $eta^text{V}=34,$nTHz$^{-1/2} mu$m$^{3/2}$ across a $125,mu$m$ ,times,125,mu $m field of view, with about 5$times$ less spatial variation in sensitivity across the field of view compared to a SQ measurement. The improved robustness and magnetic sensitivity homogeneity of the DQ 4-Ramsey protocol enable imaging of dynamic, broadband magnetic sources such as integrated circuits and electrically-active cells.
Reduction of the inter-probe distance in multi-probe and double-tip STM down to the nanometer scale has been a longstanding and technically difficult challenge. Recent multi-probe systems have allowed for significant progress by achieving distances o
f around 30 nm using two individually driven, traditional metal wire tips. For situations where simple alignment and a fixed separation can be advantageous, we here present the fabrication of on-chip double-tip devices that incorporate two mechanically fixed gold tips with a tip separation of only 35 nm. We utilize the excellent mechanical, insulating and dielectric properties of high quality SiN as a base material to realize easy-to-implement, lithographically defined and mechanically stable tips. With their large contact pads and adjustable footprint these novel tips can be easily integrated with most existing commercial combined STM/AFM systems.
Nitrogen-Vacancy centers in diamond possess an electronic spin resonance that strongly depends on temperature, which makes them efficient temperature sensor with a sensitivity down to a few mK/$sqrt{rm Hz}$. However, the high thermal conductivity of
the host diamond may strongly damp any temperature variations, leading to invasive measurements when probing local temperature distributions. In view of determining possible and optimal configurations for diamond-based wide-field thermal imaging, we here investigate, both experimentally and numerically, the effect of the presence of diamond on microscale temperature distributions. Three geometrical configurations are studied: a bulk diamond substrate, a thin diamond layer bonded on quartz and diamond nanoparticles dispersed on quartz. We show that the use of bulk diamond substrates for thermal imaging is highly invasive, in the sense that it prevents any substantial temperature increase. Conversely, thin diamond layers partly solve this issue and could provide a possible alternative for microscale thermal imaging. Dispersions of diamond nanoparticles throughout the sample appear as the most relevant approach as they do not affect the temperature distribution, although NV centers in nanodiamonds yield lower temperature sensitivities compared to bulk diamond.
The simultaneous imaging of magnetic fields and temperature (MT) is important in a range of applications, including studies of carrier transport, solid-state material dynamics, and semiconductor device characterization. Techniques exist for separatel
y measuring temperature (e.g., infrared (IR) microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and thermo-reflectance microscopy) and magnetic fields (e.g., scanning probe magnetic force microscopy and superconducting quantum interference devices). However, these techniques cannot measure magnetic fields and temperature simultaneously. Here, we use the exceptional temperature and magnetic field sensitivity of nitrogen vacancy (NV) spins in conformally-coated nanodiamonds to realize simultaneous wide-field MT imaging. Our quantum conformally-attached thermo-magnetic (Q-CAT) imaging enables (i) wide-field, high-frame-rate imaging (100 - 1000 Hz); (ii) high sensitivity; and (iii) compatibility with standard microscopes. We apply this technique to study the industrially important problem of characterizing multifinger gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs). We spatially and temporally resolve the electric current distribution and resulting temperature rise, elucidating functional device behavior at the microscopic level. The general applicability of Q-CAT imaging serves as an important tool for understanding complex MT phenomena in material science, device physics, and related fields.
Recently we have demonstrated AC magnetic field sensing scheme using a simple continuous-wave optically detected magnetic resonance of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond [Appl. Phys. Lett. 113, 082405 (2018)]. This scheme is based on electronic spin
double resonance excited by continuous microwaves and radio-frequency (RF) fields. Here we measured and analyzed the double resonance spectra and magnetic field sensitivity for various frequencies of microwaves and RF fields. As a result, we observed a clear anticrossing of RF-dressed electronic spin states in the spectra and estimated the bandwidth to be approximately 5 MHz at the center frequency of 9.9 MHz.
