Magnetic Imaging with SQUID sensitivity by Quantum Design, and New CEO 

The QDM.IO is the first system on the market which provides large area imaging of the magnetic field distribution using measurement based on nitrogen-vacancy centers implanted in a diamond. Conventional NV center-based microscopes use a single NV center in the tip and scan the sample, however, the heart of this microscope is a chip with many NV centers which can measure a large area simultaneously. The result is nanotesla sensitivity that not only detects the strength but also the local vector of the magnetic field.  […]

Spin-Ion Stepping Out with System to Engineer Ultra-Thin Magnetic Materials 

Spin-Ion Technologies, a French developer of advanced ion beam technology to engineer the structural properties of magnetic materials, has linked up with Quantum Design International to distribute the company’s Helium-S system in China, Taiwan, Singapore and the United States. The process solution is based on post-growth Helium + ion irradiation to tailor the magnetic properties of thin magnetic films at the atomic scale and improve their performances. […]
