Nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance with a 1.9-nm-deep nitrogen-vacancy sensor
- Department of Nuclear Solid State Physics, Institute for Experimental Physics II, Universität Leipzig, Linnéstr. 5, D-04103 Leipzig (Germany)
We present nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements performed with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers located down to about 2 nm from the diamond surface. NV centers were created by shallow ion implantation followed by a slow, nanometer-by-nanometer removal of diamond material using oxidative etching in air. The close proximity of NV centers to the surface yielded large {sup 1}H NMR signals of up to 3.4 μT-rms, corresponding to ∼330 statistically polarized or ∼10 fully polarized proton spins in a (1.8 nm){sup 3} detection volume.
