Title: Voltage-driven, local, and efficient excitation of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond

Abstract

Magnetic sensing technology has found widespread application in a diverse set of industries including transportation, medicine, and resource exploration. These uses often require highly sensitive instruments to measure the extremely small magnetic fields involved, relying on difficult-to-integrate superconducting quantum interference devices and spin-exchange relaxation-free magnetometers. A potential alternative, nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, has shown great potential as a high-sensitivity and high-resolution magnetic sensor capable of operating in an unshielded, room-temperature environment. Transitioning NV center–based sensors into practical devices, however, is impeded by the need for high-power radio frequency (RF) excitation to manipulate them. We report an advance that combines two different physical phenomena to enable a highly efficient excitation of the NV centers: magnetoelastic drive of ferromagnetic resonance and NV-magnon coupling. Our work demonstrates a new pathway that combine acoustics and magnonics that enables highly energy-efficient and local excitation of NV centers without the need for any external RF excitation and, thus, could lead to completely integrated, on-chip, atomic sensors.

Figures / Tables:

Fig. 1 Fig. 1: Measured NV-ADFMR system. (A) Schematic diagram of the experimental sample and the optical excitation/detection scheme. The magnetic field was applied at 45° in-plane from the SAW propagation direction for all optically detected measurements to maximize the power absorption in the magnetic films due to ADFMR. Small particlesmore » on the magnetic pad indicate deposited nanodiamonds. (B) Photograph of measured device shows IDTs and the magnetoelastic film and indicates the direction of SAW propagation. Dark spots on the film and substrate are clusters of nanodiamonds. (C) Diagram of energy flow in the system, showing transduction methods between the different components of the sample. Microwave electrical energy is converted into acoustic energy via piezoelectricity, which then drives magnetic precession. As this precession damps, it generates magnons that couple to the NV centers, modulating their photoluminescence (PL).« less
