• Abstract: Small volume nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) has recently made considerable progress due to rapid developments in the field of quantum sensing using nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers. These optically active defects in the diamond lattice have been used to probe unprecedented small volumes on the picoliter range with high spectral resolution. However, the NMR signal size depends strongly on both the diamond sensor's and sample's geometry. Using Monte-Carlo integration of sample spin dipole moments, the magnetic field projection along the orientation of the NV center for different geometries has been analysed. We show that the NMR signal strongly depends on the NV-center orientation with respect to the diamond surface. While the signal of currently used planar diamond sensors converges as a function of the sample volume, more optimal geometries lead to a logarithmically diverging signal. Finally, we simulate the expected signal for spherical, cylindrical and nearly-2D sample volumes, covering relevant geometries for interesting applications in NV-NMR such as single-cell biology or NV-based hyperpolarization. The results provide a guideline for NV-NMR spectroscopy of microscopic objects. Keywords: Nitrogen vacancy center, nuclear magnetic resonance, Monte-Carlo, quantum sensing, sample geometry, small volume NMR.

We probe NV$-$ spin states experimentally with the commonly used continuous-wave zero-field optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) By fitting the model results to the experimentally collected ODMR data, we determine the strain tensor components at different positions, thus determining the strain profile across the waveguide.

  Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond enable nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of samples at the nano- and micron scales. We discuss how pulse errors, finite pulse lengths, and nuclear spin-spin couplings affect the resulting NMR spectra. We find that DRACAERIS is less susceptible to pulse imperfections and off-resonance effects than previous protocols for longitudinal magnetization detection.

  Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy of bulk quantum materials have provided insight into phenomena such as quantum phase criticality, magnetism, and superconductivity. With the emergence of nanoscale 2-D materials with magnetic phenomena, inductively-detected NMR and NQR spectroscopy are not sensitive enough to detect the smaller number of spins in nanomaterials. The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond has shown promise in bringing the analytic power of NMR and NQR spectroscopy to the nanoscale.

  We probed electron-spin resonance transitions in the excited state of negatively-charged boron vacancy defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) at room temperature. The data showed that the excited state has a zero-field splitting of 2.1 GHz, a g factor similar to the ground state and two types of hyperfine splitting 90 MHz and 18.8 MHz respectively. Negative peaks in photoluminescence and ODMR contrast as a function of magnetic field magnitude and angle at level anti-crossing were observed and explained by coherent spin precession and anisotropic relaxation.
