We report Optically-Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) study on Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. The experiment can easily be conducted with basic optics and microwave components. A diamond crystal having a high-density NV center is suitable for the ODMR study. The magnetic field dependence of ODMR spectrum allowed us to determine the orientation of the diamond crystal. In addition, we measured the variation of the ODMR spectrum as a function of the excitation laser power. Thermal heating induced by optical absorption caused the monotonic decrease of zero field splitting. The contrast of the ODMR peak, however, increased and, then, began to decrease, indicating the optimal laser power for recording the ODMR spectrum.

Nitrogen vacancy center (NV center) in diamond has recently been appeared as a promising candidate for hyperpolarization applications due to its optical pumping property by laser. Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) has been used as a conventional method to obtain the resonance spectrum of NV centers. ODMR, however, has a shortcoming of sensitivity and a limitation of subjects, such that the degree of hyperpolarization can hardly be estimated, and that the spins other than NV centers are invisible. In contrast, Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is known to proportionally reflect the degree of spin polarization. In this work, we successfully observed the optically-induced hyperpolarization of NV spins in diamond through CW-ESR spectroscopy with an X-band system. All the NV peaks were identified by calculating the eigenvalues of NV spin Hamiltonian. The intensities of NV peaks were enhanced over 240 times after optical pumping. The enhanced peaks corresponding to the transition from |m_s=0> to |m_s=-1> revealed inverted phases, while other peaks remained in-phase. The optically-induced hyperpolarization on NV spins can be a useful polarization source, leading to ¹³C nuclear hyperpolarization in diamond.

Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center in diamond has been an emerging versatile tool for quantum sensing applications. Amongst various applications, nano-scale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) using a single or ensemble NV centers has demonstrated promising results, opening possibility of a single molecule NMR for its chemical structural studies or multi-nuclear spin spectroscopy for quantum information science. However, there is a key challenge, which limited the spectral resolution of NMR detection using NV centers; the interrogation duration for NV-NMR detection technique has been limited by the NV sensor spin lifetime (T₁ ~ 3ms), which is orders of magnitude shorter than the coherence times of nuclear spins in bulk liquid samples (T₂ ~ 1s) or intrinsic ¹³C nuclear spins in diamond. Recent studies have shown that quantum memory technique or synchronized readout detection technique can further narrow down the spectral linewidth of NMR signal. In this short review paper, we overview basic concepts of nanoscale NMR using NV centers, and introduce further developments in high spectral resolution NV NMR studies.

Nitrogen vacancy-centered diamond has recently emerged as a promising material for various applications due to its special optical and magnetic properties. In particular, its applications as a fluorescent biomarker with small toxicity, magnetic field and electric field sensors have been a topic of great interest. Recent review (R. Schirhagl et al 2014) introduced those applications using single NV-center in nanodiamond. In this minireview, I introduce the rapidly emerging DNP (Dynamic Nuclear Polarization) field using optically-pumped NV center in diamonds. Additionally, the possibility of exploiting the optically-pumped NV center for polarization transfer source, which will produce a profound impact on room temperature DNP, will be discussed.

HPHT(고온고압) 처리된 type IIa 다이아몬드의 분광분석 결과를 나타내었다. 그리고 HPHT 처리된 다이아몬드 spectrum의 특성을 이와 유사한 color와 type을 가진 처리되지 않은 다이아몬드와 비교하였다. 325nm 에서 여기된 He/Cd laser로는 HPHT 처리된 다이아몬드와 처리되지 않은 다이아몬드에 현저한 변화가 있음을 알 수 있었는데 이는 HPHT 처리된 다이아몬드의 spectrum에서 H3, H4에 관련된 peak가 제거되고 N3 system에 관련된 peak의 emission이 증가함을 보여 주었다. 또한 514nm에서 여기된 Ar-ion laser로 측정된 spectrum은 575nm와 637.1 nm에서 Nitrogen과 vacancy가 관련되어있는 N-V center가 발견 되었는데 이러한 center가 존재하고 있을 경우 637.1 nm의 FWHM의 값은 HPHT 처리된 다이아몬드와 처리되지 않은 다이아몬드를 구분할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 본 실험에서 측정된 HPHT 처리된 다이아몬드의 637.1nm $(N-V)^-$의 FWHM 값은 $19.8{\textrm}{cm}^{-1}$에서$32.1{\textrm}{cm}^{-1}$였다.

전자빔 조사를 조사량에 따라 단계별로 수행하면서 전자빔을 조사하는 동안 다이아몬드 내에서 일어나는 질소관련 결함의 변화와 색상의 변화를 분광학적 방법으로 측정 분석하였다. 일반적으로 질소의 양이 적을수록 공공이 쉽게 생성되며 A집합체보다 B집합체가 많은 시료에서 공공이 빠르게 생성된다는 결과를 보였다. 그 이유로 공공의 생성 정도가 전자빔에 의해 파괴될 수 있는 크기를 가진 결함의 양 즉, platelets에 비례한다는 결론을 추론할 수 있었다. 그리고 조사량이 증가할수록 옅은 녹색을 지닌 청색에서 짙은 청색으로 변화한다. 이러한 청색의 발현은 GR1센터의 점진적인 증가로 GR1센터 흡수포논에 의한 흡수띠의 영역은 더욱 확장되어 가시광선이 투과하는 최고 파장대가 530 nm에서 500 nm로 이동하면서 나타나는 현상이다.
