The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $899,956 Project Grant to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York to support research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The funding will support Professor Meriles at the City College of New York in developing new nanoscale sensing and imaging techniques leveraging the physical properties of select light emitters in diamond. Specifically, the grant aims to enhance the information content and broaden the applicability of nitrogen-vacancy scanning microscopy as a magnetic resonance-based imaging and characterization technique. Key activities include investigating ensembles of paramagnetic centers in all-diamond scanning tips for improved MRI imaging applications, and studying interactions between the nitrogen-vacancy spin and individual electron and nuclear spins to enable enhanced sensing based on non-Hermitian dynamics. The overall goals are to extend the capabilities of MRI in terms of sensitivity, spatial resolution, and the types of materials that can be probed, while retaining traits like spectroscopic fingerprinting that make MRI versatile.
