Single NV centers as sensors for radio-frequency fields
We show that a single electron spin can serve as a sensor for radio-frequency (rf) magnetic fields. The longitudinal and transverse components of the rf field can be extracted from the phase acquired during free evolution of the spin coherence. In our experimental demonstration, a single electron sp...

| description | We show that a single electron spin can serve as a sensor for radio-frequency (rf) magnetic fields. The longitudinal and transverse components of the rf field can be extracted from the phase acquired during free evolution of the spin coherence. In our experimental demonstration, a single electron spin of an NV center in diamond serves as an atomic size of two components of an rf field. |
