Using various measurement protocols, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center’s spin state can be optically initialized and read out. Magnetically, electrically and thermally sensitive, NV centers in nanodiamonds have been used as multipurpose nanoscale sensors.
Here, we present the application of NV centers as magnetic-field sensors to detect changes of magnetic fields caused by the spin transition of a chemical spin-crossover (SCO) complex. The examined polymeric Fe(II)-SCO complex is expected to switch from its diamagnetic low-spin state of S = 0 to a paramagnetic high-spin state of S = 2 per Fe(II) ion at ∼ 47 ∘C. This thermally-induced SCO would cause a change in a local magnetic field. Using a simple model, we estimate this change to be in the order of 1 mT. Experimentally, we deposit nanodiamonds of approximately 700 nm average size and with less than 1 ppm NV centers on a thin-layer sample of the SCO complex. We perform temperature-dependent CW optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy using a self-built temperature-controlled sample holder. With temperatures rising above 47 ∘C, resonance frequencies are expected to shift in the MHz range.
