Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond are atomic sized point defects which enable sensing and imaging of external magnetic fields at nanoscale without requiring low temperatures for their operation. A nanodiamond crystal hosting a single NV center attached to the scanning probe is used as a nanoscale magnetometer. The NV spin states are addressed by microwaves and the optically detected magnetic resonance spectra of the NV center enables the sensing of the external weak magnetic fields. We will present some preliminary results on measuring magnetic fields at nanometer length scales.
