Abstract: 

Magnetometry with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond has gained significant interest among researchers in recent years. Absolute knowledge of the three-dimensional orientation of the magnetic field is necessary for many applications. Conventional magnetometry measurements are usually performed with NV ensembles in a bulk diamond with a thin NV layer or a scanning probe in the form of a diamond tip, which requires a smooth sample surface and proximity of the probing device, often limiting the sensing capabilities. Our approach is to use micro- and nano-diamonds for wide-field detection and mapping of the magnetic field. In this study, we show that NV color centers in randomly oriented submicrometer-sized diamond powder deposited in a thin layer on a planar surface can be used to detect the magnetic field. Our work can be extended to irregular surfaces, which shows a promising path for nanodiamond-based photonic sensors.

Funding: 

The research was carried out within the TEAM NET programme of the Foundation for Polish Science co-financed by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund, project POIR.04.04.00-00-1644/18. This research was funded in part by National Science Centre, Poland grant number 2020/39/I/ST3/02322. 

Description of the data: 

The dataset consists of 24 individual data files labelled chronologically, starting from f0.fits to f24.fits. The data format is Flexible Image Transport System (FITS). Each FITS file consists of a header and 3-dimensional image data. The header contains the experimental parameters set during data acquisition, which may also be helpful for data analysis. The FITS file can be read using any software (e.g., MATLAB, Python) that supports the FITS file format.

An example header:

    {'STARFREQ'}    {[                 2700]}                  {' in MHz                                          '}    {'STOPFREQ'}    {[                 3000]}                  {' in MHz                                         '}    {'STEPSIZE'}      {[    1.500000000000000]}       {' Frequency interval                       '}    {'MWPOWER'}   {[                    5]}                    {' in dBm                                         '}    {'NSCANS'}        {[                    5]}                    {' Total number of scan repetitions '}    {'EXPOSURE'}   {[                   20]}                     {' in ms                                            '}    {'FPS'}                {[ 20]}                                     {' no. of frames per second             '}    {'LEDCURR'}      {[    0.990000000000000]}      {' LED current in mA                        }    {'EXPTIME'}       {[1.942112698000000e+02]}  {' Measurement time in seconds    '}    {'END' }              {0×0 char               }                {0×0 char                                       }
