We propose to use the embedded nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect states in single-crystal diamond cantilever for measuring external forces. In order to experimentally demonstrate the force sensing capabilities, we employed an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip to apply a force on the non-clamped end of the diamond cantilever, which in turn induces lattice strain to a NV center close to the clamping point of a cantilever. The strain-mediated coupling between NV spin and diamond mechanics is observable via clear signatures in the optically detected electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum of the NV center [1, 2].
