金刚石中氮空位中心的电化学信号传感

Sensing electrochemical signals using a nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond

Hossein T. Dinani, Enrique Muñoz, Jeronimo R. Maze

摘要:

具有高灵敏度的化学传感器,可以在极端条件下使用,并且可以小型化,在科学和工业中具有很高的兴趣。金刚石中的氮空位(NV)中心由于其电子自旋的长相干时间和光学可及性而成为纳米传感器的理想候选者。在这项理论工作中,我们建议使用NV中心来检测从电解质溶液中出现的电化学信号,从而获得浓度传感器。为此,我们建议使用NV中心($1/T^*_2$)的电子自旋的非均匀退相速率作为信号。我们表明,对于一个范围内的平均离子浓度的电解质溶液中的大部分,电场波动产生的扩散波动的局部浓度的离子,导致移相率,可以推断从自由感应衰减测量。此外,我们表明,对于一系列的浓度,在NV中心的位置处产生的电场也可以用来估计离子的浓度。

英文摘要:

Chemical sensors with high sensitivity that can be used in extreme conditions and can be miniaturized are of high interest in science and industry. The Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is an ideal candidate as a nanosensor due to the long coherence time of its electron spin and its optical accessibility. In this theoretical work, we propose to use an NV center to detect electrochemical signals emerging from an electrolyte solution, thus obtaining a concentration sensor. For this purpose, we propose to use the inhomogeneous dephasing rate of the electron spin of the NV center ($1/T^*_2$) as a signal. We show that for a range of mean ionic concentrations in the bulk of the electrolyte solution, the electric field fluctuations produced by the diffusional fluctuations in the local concentration of ions, result in dephasing rates which can be inferred from free induction decay measurements. Moreover, we show that for a range of concentrations, the electric field generated at the position of the NV center can also be used to estimate the concentration of ions.
