Dissertation Advisors: Ronald Walsworth, Marko Lon£ar Linh My Pham Magnetic Field Sensing with Nitrogen-Vacancy Color Centers in Diamond Abstract In recent years, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center has emerged as a promising magnetic sensor capable of measuring magnetic elds with high sensitivity and spa- tial resolution under ambient conditions. This combination of characteristics allows NV magnetometers to probe magnetic structures and systems that were previously inaccessible with alternative magnetic sensing technologies This dissertation presents and discusses a number of the initial eorts to demon- strate and improve NV magnetometry. In particular, a wide-eld CCD based NV magnetic eld imager capable of micron-scale spatial resolution is demonstrated; and magnetic eld alignment, preferential NV orientation, and multipulse dynamical de- coupling techniques are explored for enhancing magnetic sensitivity. The further application of dynamical decoupling control sequences as a spectral probe to extract information about the dynamics of the NV spin environment is also discussed; such information may be useful for determining optimal diamond sample parameters for dierent applications. Finally, several proposed and recently demonstrated applica- tions which take advantage of NV magnetometers' sensitivity and spatial resolution at room temperature are presented, with particular focus on bio-magnetic eld imaging. iii
