Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers can be used as nanoscale sensors for temperature and electromagnetic fields find increasing application in many areas of science technology from biology to quantum metrology. Decreasing the separation between NV their sensing target often enhances measurement sensitivity. FND shape strongly affects this distance particle surface therefore properties such brightness fluorescence spectrum, limit sensor applications. Here,...
Ferritin is the primary storage protein in our body and of significant interest biochemistry, nanotechnology, condensed matter physics. More specifically within this sphere are magnetic properties iron core ferritin, which have been utilized as a contrast agent applications such resonance imaging. This magnetism depends on both number atoms present, L, nature ordering their electron spins. In work, we create series ferritin samples containing homogeneous loads apply diamond-based quantum...
Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) have been exploited as sensitive quantum probes for nanoscale chemical and biological sensing applications, with the majority of demonstrations to date relying on detection single FNDs containing either nitrogen vacancies or nitrogen-vacancy ensembles. This places significant limits measurement time, throughput statistical significance a measured result there is usually marked inhomogeneity within FND samples. Here, we developed platform that can report...
