Kernspintomografie auf der Mikrometer-Skala

Magnetic resonance imaging (NMR/MRI), is one of the most powerful techniques to record three-dimensional images of nearly arbitrary samples. Current devices, such as those found in hospitals, cannot record details smaller than 1mm.

Our group aims to push MRI to a microscopy technique by improving its spatial resolution down to the sub-nm range, the scale of single atoms. This ambitious goal has recently become a realistic prospect by a new generation of quantum sensors for magnetic fields. They are based on the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color defect in diamond and could detect fields as small as the NMR signal of a single molecule [1,2].

We are looking for a MSc student to develop a slightly different application: chip-scale NMR spectrometers for magnetic resonance imaging with a spatial resolution in the micrometer range.

Techniques:

* You will learn to fabricate microscale electromagnets in one of our clean rooms, and optimize our fabrication techniques for your project and others.

* You will design and fabricate a sensor chip for nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging

* You will redesign an existing microscope setup to apply strong magnetic fields and perform advanced imaging

* You will perform experiments to record microscale MRI images.
