The CIQTEK Scanning Nitrogen-vacancy Probe Microscope (SNVM) is an advanced scientific analytical instrument that combines diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) optical detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) technology and atomic force microscope (AFM) scanning imaging technology, which can realize quantitative and non-destructive magnetic imaging of magnetic samples with high spatial resolution and high sensitivity.
* There are two versions: the ambient version and the cryogenic version.

The CIQTEK Scanning Nitrogen-vacancy Probe Microscope (SNVM) has extensive applications in many research fields, such as chemicals, materials science, biological, medical treatment, etc.
Multiferroic Materials
Multiferroics are a class of materials with a variety of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties, which have a wide range of potential applications in the fields of data storage, sensor technology, spintronics, and novel electronic devices. Bismuth ferrate (BiFeO3), as a research hotspot in materials science, has antiferromagnetism that makes the observation of its magnetic domains not easy.
The CIQTEK SNVM, due to its high magnetic measurement sensitivity, is a new tool that can realize the measurement of the antiferromagnetic order in the real space of BFO, and similar studies can be extended to other identical systems to show the way for the development of spintronics.

Superconducting Materials
Probing the microscopic mechanisms of superconducting materials is one of the core topics of modern condensed matter physics, and it is crucial for the study of new superconducting materials. Superconducting flux vortices can reflect the basic parameters of superconductivity, such as coherence length, penetration depth, and symmetry of the superconducting energy gap. Characterization of flux vortices can provide a more experimental basis for exploring the micro-mechanism of superconductivity.
The CIQTEK SNVM can realize high spatial resolution, high sensitivity, and quantitative and non-destructive flux vortex imaging at very low temperatures.

2D Magnetic Materials
The discovery of two-dimensional magnetic materials is a new direction for the study of spintronics and has potential applications in spintronic devices. Several 2D magnetic materials, such as CrI3 and Fe3GeTe2, have been experimentally discovered in recent years. Because of the weak magnetic field strength and low transition temperature of 2D magnetic materials, the high sensitivity, high spatial resolution, and environmental compatibility possessed by the CIQTEK SNVM are well suited to meet the measurement needs in this area.
