The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a solid-state defect qubit with favorable
coherence time up to room temperature, which could be harnessed in several quantum …

We provide an overview of the experimental techniques, measurement modalities, and
diverse applications of the quantum diamond microscope (QDM). The QDM employs a …

Quantum spin dephasing is caused by inhomogeneous coupling to the environment, with
resulting limits to the measurement time and precision of spin-based sensors. The effects of …

Remanent magnetization in geological samples may record the past intensity and direction
of planetary magnetic fields. Traditionally, this magnetization is analyzed through …

With the creation of nitrogen (NV) in 1b diamond it is common to find that the absorption and
emission is predominantly of negatively charged NV centres. This occurs because electrons …

Palaeomagnetic field intensity measurements, derived from rocks with ages that span
geological time, provide a crucial constraint on the evolution of Earth's deep interior and its …

Scanning probe microscopy using nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond has become a
versatile tool with applications in physics, chemistry, life sciences, and earth and planetary …

Interest in magnetic fields on the ancient Earth and other planetary bodies has motivated the
paleomagnetic analysis of complex rocks such as meteorites that carry heterogeneous …

The initiation of mobile-lid plate tectonics on Earth represented a critical transition towards a
more familiar world in terms of surface temperature stabilization, biogeochemical cycling …

As iron‐bearing minerals—ferrimagnetic minerals in particular—are sensitive to stress,
temperature, and presence of fluids in fault zones, their magnetic properties provide …
