In collaboration with Professor Takashi Yatsui and Assistant Professor Ryota Katsumi at Toyohashi University of Technology, Professor Masaki Sekino has designed a diamond NV magnetometer using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, which are point defects formed in diamond, utilizing a resonator nanostructure. The new sensor has high sensitivity comparable to existing superconducting quantum sensors, and is expected to be further miniaturized. The paper was published in the electronic edition of “Japanese Journal of Applied Physics (JJAP)” on July 19.
