  • geometric phase Magnetometry using a solid state spin
    Nature Communications, 2018
    Co-Authors: K Arai, Chinmay Belthangady, David Glenn, Huiliang Zhang, Ronald L Walsworth
    Abstract:

    A key challenge of Magnetometry lies in the simultaneous optimization of magnetic field sensitivity and maximum field range. In interferometry-based Magnetometry, a quantum two-level system acquires a dynamic phase in response to an applied magnetic field. However, due to the 2π periodicity of the phase, increasing the coherent interrogation time to improve sensitivity reduces field range. Here we introduce a route towards both large magnetic field range and high sensitivity via measurements of the geometric phase acquired by a quantum two-level system. We experimentally demonstrate geometric-phase Magnetometry using the electronic spin associated with the nitrogen vacancy (NV) color center in diamond. Our approach enables unwrapping of the 2π phase ambiguity, enhancing field range by 400 times. We also find additional sensitivity improvement in the nonadiabatic regime, and study how geometric-phase decoherence depends on adiabaticity. Our results show that the geometric phase can be a versatile tool for quantum sensing applications. When performing interferometry-based Magnetometry, there is generally a trade-off between sensitivity and range. Here, instead, the authors demonstrate a geometric-phase-based protocol which allows a 400-fold enhancement in static magnetic field range with a single NV-centre without reducing sensitivity.

    Abstract:

    Magnetometry is a powerful technique for the non-invasive study of biological and physical systems. A key challenge lies in the simultaneous optimization of magnetic field sensitivity and maximum field range. In interferometry-based Magnetometry, a quantum two-level system acquires a dynamic phase in response to an applied magnetic field. However, due to the 2{\pi} periodicity of the phase, increasing the coherent interrogation time to improve sensitivity results in reduced field range. Here we introduce a route towards both large magnetic field range and high sensitivity via measurements of the geometric phase acquired by a quantum two-level system. We experimentally demonstrate geometric-phase Magnetometry using the optically addressable electronic spin associated with the nitrogen vacancy (NV) color center in diamond. Our approach enables unwrapping of the 2{\pi} phase ambiguity, decoupling of magnetic field range from sensitivity, and enhancement of the field range by about 400 times. We also find additional improvement in sensitivity in the nonadiabatic regime, and study how geometric-phase decoherence depends on adiabaticity. Our results show that the geometric phase can be a versatile tool for quantum sensing applications.

  • Berry phase Magnetometry using a single electronic spin in diamond
    Bulletin of the American Physical Society, 2015
    Co-Authors: K Arai, Chinmay Belthangady, Ronald L Walsworth
    Abstract:

    eld sensing using Berry phase. In the conventional Ramsey interferometry, an NV spin accumulates dynamic phase proportional to the Larmor frequency. This approach provides high sensitivity in exchange for the dynamic-range due to 2pi phase ambiguity. Our approach, in which the magnetic eld is encoded in the Berry phase of the spin, can unwrap this ambiguity due to a chirped Magnetometry curve. This work will provide a new modality not only for Magnetometry but also for thermometry and electrometry using solid-state spins.

  • Theoretical model for torque differential Magnetometry
    arXiv: Materials Science, 2014
    Co-Authors: Akashdeep Kamra, Michael Schreier, Hans Huebl, Sebastian T. B. Goennenwein
    Abstract:

    We present a generic theoretical model for torque differential Magnetometry (TDM) - an experimental method for determining the magnetic properties of a magnetic specimen by recording the resonance frequency of a mechanical oscillator, on which the magnetic specimen has been mounted, as a function of the applied magnetic field. The effective stiffness change, and hence the resonance frequency shift, of the oscillator due to the magnetic torque on the specimen is calculated for an arbitrary magnetic free energy density characterizing the specimen, as well as the relative orientation of the applied magnetic field, the specimen and the oscillator. Our calculations agree well with published experimental data. The theoretical model presented here allows to take full advantage of TDM as an efficient Magnetometry method.

  • Nanomechanical torque Magnetometry of an individual aggregate of ∼350 nanoparticles1
    Canadian Journal of Physics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Tayyaba Firdous, D. Vick, Joseph E. Losby, Fatemeh Fani Sani, M. Belov, A. Mcdermott, D. A. Bazylinski, T. Prozorov, D. K. Potter, M R Freeman
    Abstract:

    The measurements of magnetic hysteresis for aggregates of nanoparticles deposited on a surface are reported. Magnetite nanoparticles derived from magnetotactic bacteria are studied using nanomechanical torque Magnetometry. The nanoparticles are deposited on high-stress Si3N4 membranes, to allow inspection by electron microscopy, followed by focused ion-beam milling of torsional resonators precisely located to capture selected aggregates within the membrane area. Torque Magnetometry is performed using the resonators. We investigate also the magnetic torque-driven AC resonant modes of the modified supporting membrane. The observations are compared to numerical simulations of the mechanical modes, and to micromagnetic modeling of the hysteresis of a specific measured cluster of ∼350 nanoparticles.

  • Nanotorsional resonator torque Magnetometry
    Applied Physics Letters, 2010
    Co-Authors: J.p. Davis, Jeffrey A Burgess, D. Vick, D. C. Fortin, W. K. Hiebert, M R Freeman
    Abstract:

    Magnetic torque is used to actuate nano-torsional resonators, which are fabricated by focused-ion-beam milling of permalloy coated silicon nitride membranes. Optical interferometry is used to measure the mechanical response of two torsion modes at resonance, which is proportional to the magnetization vector of the nanomagnetic volume. By varying the bias magnetic field, the magnetic behavior can be measured with excellent sensitivity ($\approx 10^8 \mu_B$) for single magnetic elements.
