Physics Colloquium

"Recent Developments in Atomic and Diamond Magnetometers"

Presented by Dmitry Budker, UC Berkeley and NSD LBNL

Thursday, January 13, 2011, 3:30 pm — Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

There is a lot going on in the magnetometry field, with new techniques sprouting that allow ever improved sensitivity and spatial resolution. One latest rave is magnetometers based on color centers in diamond that consist of a substitutional nitrogen atom (N) and a vacancy (V) in a diamond lattice. I will talk about recent applications of magnetometers to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) without magnets (!), and briefly touch upon some other magnetometer adventures from search for plant biomagnetism to measuring magnetic fields in the mesosphere using sodium laser guide stars (LGS).
