We report on the development of a hybrid diamond-piezomagnetic system for the measurement of stress (force) [1]. Our experimental setup comprises of an atomic force microscope (AFM) integrated into a confocal microscope. A thin magnetostrictive film is deposited onto the diamond sample containing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. An AFM cantilever tip is used to apply a local force or stress on the thin film, thereby resulting in a change in the stray magnetic field outside the magnetostrictive material. Optical readout of the spin quantum state of the NV center encodes information about the change in the magnetic field thereby resulting in a transduction of force.
