Abstract:Magnetic field measurement plays an extremely important role in material science, electronic engineering, power system and even industrial fields. In particular, magnetic field measurement provides a safe and reliable tool for industrial non-destructive testing. The sensitivity of magnetic field measurement determines the highest level of detection. The diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center is a new type of quantum sensor developed in recent years. The external magnetic field will cause Zeeman splitting of the ground state energy level of the diamond NV color center. Optical detection magnetic resonance (ODMR), using a microwave source and a lock-in amplifier to detect the resonant frequency of the NV color center, and finally the change of the resonant frequency can accurately calculate the size of the external magnetic field and the sensitivity of the external magnetic field change. In the experiment, a diamond containing a high concentration of NV color centers is coupled with an optical fiber to realize the preparation of a magnetic field scanning probe. Then, the surface cracks of the magnetized iron plate weld are scanned, and the scanning results are drawn into a twodimensional magnetic force distribution map, according to the magnetic field gradient change of the magnetic force distribution map, the position and size of the crack can be judged accurately, which provides a very effective diagnostic tool for industrial safety.
