摘要

Abstract

Due to their exceptional optical and magnetic properties

negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV

−

) centers in nanodiamonds (NDs) have been identified as an indispensable tool for imaging

sensing and quantum bit manipulation. The investigation of the emission behaviors of single NV

−

centers at the nanoscale is of paramount importance and underpins their use in applications ranging from quantum computation to super-resolution imaging. Here

we report on a spin-manipulated nanoscopy method for nanoscale resolutions of the collectively blinking NV

−

centers confined within the diffraction-limited region. Using wide-field localization microscopy combined with nanoscale spin manipulation and the assistance of a microwave source tuned to the optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) frequency

we discovered that two collectively blinking NV

−

centers can be resolved. Furthermore

when the collective emitters possess the same ground state spin transition frequency

the proposed method allows the resolving of each single NV

−

center via an external magnetic field used to split the resonant dips. In spin manipulation

the three-level blinking dynamics provide the means to resolve two NV

−

centers separated by distances of 23 nm. The method presented here offers a new platform for studying and imaging spin-related quantum interactions at the nanoscale with super-resolution techniques.
