Quantum microscopy is an emerging imaging technology set to revolutionise the way and extend the limits of probing a wide range of functional materials in frontier fundamental and applied research. This technique harnesses the ultimate sensitivity and small size of recently developed robust quantum sensors based on electronic spins in diamond and can be used to accurately map intrinsic materials properties inaccessible to current imaging technology, providing pioneering insight into materials’ properties and processes at the nanoscale.
The project will use state-of-the-art quantum microscopy with a newly commissioned system to investigate magnetic materials, which play a key role in many modern technologies. Further advances in the synthesis and understanding of such materials with tailored spin textures (skyrmions, cycloidal order) and magnetic characteristics are expected to underpin the next generation of energy-efficient data storage and information processing technologies.
