The nanoscale spatial resolution and ambient condition measurement capabilities of nitrogen vacancy (NV) sensors have enabled us to perform magnetic imaging through scanning probe microscopy (SPM) across a wide range of temperature and pressure. I will be discussing the development of a scanning probe magnetometer, capable of imaging magnetic nanostructures with a high spatial resolution under ultrahigh vacuum and low temperature (10−10 mbar and 4 K) conditions, enabled with an external vector magnetic field (1 T in z and 0.25 T in both x and y direction). Here, NV centers are integrated within diamond tips to perform Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). We have used NV tips with a home built tip holder equipped with an AFM amplifier and microwave excitations on the tip (not on the sample), allowing us to have a magnetic image of any region of a sample without restriction. Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) using Zeeman splitting can locally quantify the stray magnetic field from a sample. Additionally, the integrated facilities involving UHV and low temperature capabilities will allow us to investigate the stability of the NV probes and the effects of surface modifications at UHV condition, in a highly controlled manner.
