Nitrogen-vacancy centers (NV) in diamond a few nanometers below the crystal surface can be used as magnetic field sensors with very high sensitivity and spatial resolution. The fluorescence of single NVs can be detected and it's electron spin can be polarized, read-out and manipulated at ambient conditions. We created shallow NV centers by nitrogen delta doping during a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) growth process. After stabilizing the NV's negative charge state by a SF6 plasma treatment, the hydrogen nuclear magentic resonance signal from protons in the immersion oil were detected.
