I am a scientist and a magnetic resonance enthusiast who is passionate about the beauty and power of science that I wish to make accessible to a broader audience. I am a Professor of Chemistry, currently at Northwestern University, and have been performing research in electron and nuclear magnetic, starting out as an Assistant Professor in 2004 at UC Santa Barbara, 20 years ago.

Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) with NV centers
Hello and welcome back! In a previous post, we introduced the electronic energy structure of the NV (technically NV) center. We saw that under optical excitation, there are multiple relaxation pathways, both radiative and non-radiative. The state was more likely to undergo the radiative relaxation pathway and emit a photon as compared to the state. […]
