View MoreRecently, the CIQTEK-developed Cryogenic Scanning Nitrogen-vacancy Microscope (SNVM) was successfully delivered to Professor Wong Chun-ling's research group at the City University of Hong Kong. This marks the broader recognition of CIQTEK's technical strength and service capability in the field of precision measurement. Magnetism is one of the fundamental properties of materials, and the microscopic imaging of magnetism is an important direction in experimental physics research. By studying the microscopic magnetic properties of materials in depth, scientists can gain insights into the structure, electronic properties, and interactions of materials, which is of great significance for guiding the development of new magnetic storage materials and superconducting materials. The Cryogenic Scanning Nitrogen-vacancy Microscope is a precision measurement instrument that combines diamond NV center optical detection of magnetic resonance technology with atomic force microscopy scanning imaging technology. It can be used for high-resolution, high-sensitivity, quantitative, and non-destructive magnetic measurements in a wide temperature range of 2K to 300K. It has nanoscale spatial resolution and ultra-high detection sensitivity of single spins. It will provide a new approach for research in life sciences, materials science, condensed matter physics, and other fields.
