The diamond nitrogen vacancy (NV) center spin qubit is a uniquely versatile quantum sensor that offers a path towards truly nanoscale magnetic imaging with high sensitivity over a wide range of temperatures and applications targets. Here I discuss NV-based scanned magnetic imaging experiments as applied to condensed matter systems, in ...
The different solid structures or polymorphs of atomic and molecular crystals often possess different physical and chemical properties. Structural differences between organic molecular crystal polymorphs can affect, for example, bioavailability of active pharmaceutical formulations, the lethality of contact insecticides, and diffusive behavior in host-guest systems. Such differences can also ...
