This technical note explains how spatial resolution is defined in Scanning NV Magnetometry. For a given distance d between the NV center and the scanned surface, the best achievable lateral spatial resolution is 0.86 d.
Applying scanning NV magnetometry to cryogenic temperatures allowed Professor Wrachtrup and his collaborators to reveal magnetic domains and study their dynamics in atomically thin van der Waals magnets.
Using Qnami QuantileverMX probes, the team led by Vincent Jacques identifies the only “van der Waals” material known to date where magnetic order occurs in a few atomic layers even at room temperature
