Ultrasensitive Pulsed Nuclear Spin Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer Employing Optical Detection of Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. Specifically, a system upgrade is proposed that will result in the first of its kind single-spin MRI system in the country. This proposal is for the purchase of NV-Diamond-based Optical Detection and synchronous microwave pulsing equipment, tbat will be added to an existing magnetic resonance force microscope. The P.I., Professor Chris Hammel at Ohio State University, will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the area of magnetic resonance imaging of biomolecules. An existing Magnetic Resonance Force microscopy is to be combined with new NV-Diamond-based Optical Detection and synchronous microwave pulsing techniques to achieve room temperature single spin (single electron and possibly single nuclear magnetic spin) detection and imaging. This equipment upgrade will directly enhance ARO-supported research currently being performed by the PI.
