Zusammenfassung

A negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a solid state system, that can be used as an atomic-sized sensing probe for magnetic and electric fields by optical read-out. The project aims at developing a versatile tool to detect and image small magnetic and electric fields emanating from small molecular compounds to complex united cell structures. It is the aim to achieve magnetic field sensitivities of a few nano Tesla small enough to detect the NMR signal of single molecules and to achieve a spatial resolution of a few nanometers allowing e.g. to detect action pote...
