Diamond Magnetometry for sensing in biological
environment
1. Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds are proved to be reliable magneto-sensitive nanosensor. [this thesis]
2. The diamond’s surface offers a versatile substrate for functional-ization. This characteristic enables the customisation of nanodi-amonds to target a great number of applications. [this thesis] 3. When using ensembles of Nitrogen-vacancy centers in
nanodia-monds, the size of the particle has a strong impact in the intrinsic spin-lattice relaxation time of the ensemble. [this thesis]
4. One current limitation of diamond magnetometry with nanodi-amonds is the variability of the particles. Improvements in the fabrication of the nano-crystals are needed to enhance the mea-surements’ consistency.
5. Additional improvements in the time resolution of the measure-ments can be obtained by implementing a more complex analysis of the data collected by the magnetometer.
6. Diamond magnetometry shows robust performance in chemical environments even in its most simple form.
