Funded Activity Summary

Electric field imaging of single charges and molecules via spins in diamond. This project aims to build, demonstrate and advance quantum microscopes in Australia. The microscopes are based on the quantum metrology capabilities of nitrogen-vacancy centre defect spins in diamond. The project will use the microscopes to produce nanoscale images of the electric fields of individual electric charges and molecules in ambient conditions. It will then extend the capabilities of the microscopes towards the vibrational resonance imaging of single molecules. This project could improve the study of electronic processes in biology and nanotechnology and the structure and properties of complex molecules. It may also enable advances in interdisciplinary research and the development of high-performance materials, nanoelectronic devices and associated industry.
