Zusammenfassung

Color centers in diamond nanocrystals are a new class of fluorescent and spin markers that attract significant interest due to biochemical inertness, matchless photostability and biocompatibility. It was demonstrated recently by the applicants that fluorescing diamond nanocrystals containing defects can be used as markers for novel magneto-optical imaging with nanometer resolution. The main idea behind this project is to use the excellent spin properties of diamond defects for understanding the functional dynamics of proteins with sub-nanometer resolution. This technique will be applie...
