Development of a scanning NV magnetometer for quantum senisng experiments at room-temperature — •Yue Yu, Ricardo Javier Peña Román, and Aparajita Singha — IFMP, TU Dresden, Dresden, Germany

Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center based sensors are widely used because they are versatile, precise, and suitable for exploring a broad range of systems. We have previously designed NV setups capable of operating in ultra high vacuum (UHV) and cryogenic environments, which, however, are only meaningful to use with samples that mandate such extreme measurement conditions. In order to expand our measurement capabilities to room temperature (RT) systems (such as exploration of nanomagnetism in RT-stable 2D materials, antiferromagnetic / ferromagnetic spin textures, stable molecular systems) as well as to enable rapid pre-screening of both samples and NV probes prior to transferring them into the UHV cryogenic setups, we are now setting up a room-temperature-scanning-NV magnetometer. This system integrates atomic force microscopy (AFM) with optical readout of single NV centers and will feature microwave delivery directly on the AFM tip to achieve highly localized and efficient spin control. This setup will also feature piezo-controlled permanent magnets, thus enabling quantitative magnetic-field mapping with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. Together with our UHV low-temperature scanning NV magnetometer and UHV confocal microscopes, it will form a unified platform for a complete workflow across ambient, cryogenic, and UHV environments.
