Quantum Sensing of Spin Dynamics Using Boron-Vacancy Centers in Hexagonal Boron Nitride
Quantum Sensing of Spin Dynamics Using Boron-Vacancy Centers in Hexagonal Boron Nitride
- Optically active, spin bearing defects embedded in solid-state systems are appealing for quantum sensing of materials and for quantum science and engineering
- Spin-sensitive photoluminescence of these spin defects in van der Waals based materials, such as the boron-vacancy (BV) centers in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), enables spatially localized, quantum sensing of weak static and dynamic magnetic fields
- Using relaxometry, the team optically detected ferromagnetic resonance (ODFMR) in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) demonstrating sensitive detection of magnon dynamics
- This work establishes BV centers in h-BN as a modular quantum sensing platform that can be seamlessly integrated with emergent and vdW systems to probe a wide range of static and dynamic phenomena
