Design of a quantum-spin sensor with sub-micron resolution and enhanced optical read-out ability by the nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond
To solve the inefficiency of optical out-coupling of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) luminescence in bulk diamond, we propose a quantum-spin sensor based on the NV centers in diamond. The sensor is able to map out t...
