Quantum Sensing & Magnetometry

Turn spin response into a measurable field.

NV centers in diamond provide an optically addressable spin system for magnetic-field sensing. The right material depends on whether the experiment prioritizes spatial resolution, sensitivity, sensing distance, orientation control or device integration.

Measurement Modes

One spin platform, different sensing regimes.

Quantum sensing is not a single material specification. The desired spatial scale and signal level determine whether a single NV, shallow NV layer or high-density ensemble is the better platform.

01 · LOCAL SENSING

Single-NV Magnetometry

For highly localized measurements where spatial resolution and low background are more important than total fluorescence signal.

02 · NEAR-FIELD SENSING

Shallow-NV Sensing

For experiments that need strong coupling to magnetic moments or spins outside the diamond, with NV depth selected around the sensing distance.

03 · HIGH-SENSITIVITY SENSING

Ensemble Magnetometry

For larger optical signal, prototype sensors, integrated instruments and applications where many NV centers contribute collectively to sensitivity.

Recommended Material Platforms

Match the diamond to the sensing objective.

These platforms can also be combined with isotope engineering, orientation control and custom geometry when the experiment requires it.

01 · LOW BACKGROUND

Electronic Grade Diamond

High-purity host material for controlled single-NV creation, scanning-probe work and low-background experiments.

02 · SURFACE COUPLING

Shallow NV Diamond

Near-surface NV centers, typically engineered around 5–100 nm depth, for stronger interaction with external spins and magnetic fields.

03 · SIGNAL / SENSITIVITY

NV Ensemble Diamond

Uniformly high and controllable NV concentration for high-sensitivity magnetometry, wide-field measurements and device-oriented sensing.

04 · FIELD ALIGNMENT

{111} Diamond

For experiments where an NV axis perpendicular to the surface simplifies external-field alignment and sensor geometry.
