The present disclosure generally relates to magnetometers, and more particularly, to magneto-optical defect magnetometers, such as diamond nitrogen vacancy magnetometers.
A number of industrial applications, as well as scientific areas such as physics and chemistry can benefit from magnetic detection and imaging with a device that has extraordinary sensitivity, ability to capture signals that fluctuate very rapidly (bandwidth) all with a substantive package that is extraordinarily small in size, efficient in power and infinitesimal in volume.
Atomic-sized magneto-optical defect centers, such as nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond lattices, have excellent sensitivity for magnetic field measurement and enable fabrication of small magnetic sensors that can readily replace existing-technology (e.g., Hall-effect) systems and devices. Magneto-optical defect center materials include but are not be limited to diamonds, Silicon Carbide (SiC), Phosphorous, and other materials with nitrogen, boron, carbon, silicon, or other defect centers. The diamond nitrogen vacancy (DNV) sensors are maintained in room temperature and atmospheric pressure and can be even used in liquid environments. A green optical source (e.g., a micro-LED) can optically excite NV centers of the DNV sensor and cause emission of fluorescence radiation (e.g., red light) under off-resonant optical excitation. A magnetic field generated, for example, by a microwave coil can probe triplet spin states (e.g., with ms=−1, 0, +1) of the NV centers to split proportional to an external magnetic field projected along the NV axis, resulting in two spin resonance frequencies. The distance between the two spin resonance frequencies is a measure of the strength of the external magnetic field. A photo detector can measure the fluorescence (red light) emitted by the optically excited NV centers.
Methods and systems are described for, among other things, a diamond nitrogen vacancy magnetometer.
Some embodiments relate to a system for locating a subsurface liquid.

The details of one or more implementations are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features, aspects, and advantages will become apparent from the description, the drawings, and the claims, in which:
It will be recognized that some or all of the figures are schematic representations for purposes of illustration. The figures are provided for the purpose of illustrating one or more embodiments with the explicit understanding that they will not be used to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
In some aspects, methods and systems are disclosed for detecting the location of a subsurface liquid using an array of magnetometers. In some instances, the magnetometers may include diamond nitrogen-vacancy magnetometers.
Nitrogen-vacancy centers (NV centers) are defects in a diamond's crystal structure, which can purposefully be manufactured in synthetic diamonds as shown in
The NV center may exist in a neutral charge state or a negative charge state. Conventionally, the neutral charge state uses the nomenclature NV0, while the negative charge state uses the nomenclature NV, which is adopted in this description.
The NV center has a number of electrons, including three unpaired electrons, each one from the vacancy to a respective of the three carbon atoms adjacent to the vacancy, and a pair of electrons between the nitrogen and the vacancy. The NV center, which is in the negatively charged state, also includes an extra electron.
The NV center has rotational symmetry and, as shown in
Introducing an external magnetic field with a component along the NV axis lifts the degeneracy of the ms=±1 energy levels, splitting the energy levels ms=±1 by an amount 2 gμBBz, where g is the Lande g-factor, μB is the Bohr magneton, and Bz is the component of the external magnetic field along the NV axis. This relationship is correct to a first order and inclusion of higher order corrections is a straightforward matter and will not affect the computational and logic steps in the systems and methods described below.
The NV center electronic structure further includes an excited triplet state 3E with corresponding ms=0 and ms=±1 spin states. The optical transitions between the ground state 3A2 and the excited triplet 3E are predominantly spin conserving, meaning that the optical transitions are between initial and final states that have the same spin. For a direct transition between the excited triplet 3E and the ground state 3A2, a photon of red light is emitted with a photon energy corresponding to the energy difference between the energy levels of the transitions.
There is, however, an alternative non-radiative decay route from the triplet 3E to the ground state 3A2 via intermediate electron states, which are thought to be intermediate singlet states A, E with intermediate energy levels. Significantly, the transition rate from the ms=±1 spin states of the excited triplet 3E to the intermediate energy levels is significantly greater than the transition rate from the ms=0 spin state of the excited triplet 3E to the intermediate energy levels. The transition from the singlet states A, E to the ground state triplet 3A2 predominantly decays to the ms=0 spin state over the ms=±1 spins states. These features of the decay from the excited triplet 3E state via the intermediate singlet states A, E to the ground state triplet 3A2 allows that if optical excitation is provided to the system, the optical excitation will eventually pump the NV center into the ms=0 spin state of the ground state 3A2. In this way, the population of the ms=0 spin state of the ground state 3A2 may be “reset” to a maximum polarization determined by the decay rates from the triplet 3E to the intermediate singlet states.
Another feature of the decay is that the fluorescence intensity due to optically stimulating the excited triplet 3E state is less for the ms=±1 states than for the ms=0 spin state. This is so because the decay via the intermediate states does not result in a photon emitted in the fluorescence band, and because of the greater probability that the ms=±1 states of the excited triplet 3E state will decay via the non-radiative decay path. The lower fluorescence intensity for the ms=±1 states than for the ms=0 spin state allows the fluorescence intensity to be used to determine the spin state. As the population of the ms=±1 states increases relative to the ms=0 spin, the overall fluorescence intensity will be reduced.
The RF excitation source 330 may be a microwave coil, for example. The RF excitation source 330, when emitting RF radiation with a photon energy resonant with the transition energy between ground ms=0 spin state and the ms=+1 spin state, excites a transition between those spin states. For such a resonance, the spin state cycles between ground ms=0 spin state and the ms=+1 spin state, reducing the population in the ms=0 spin state and reducing the overall fluorescence at resonances. Similarly, resonance and a subsequent decrease in fluorescence intensity occurs between the ms=0 spin state and the ms=−1 spin state of the ground state when the photon energy of the RF radiation emitted by the RF excitation source is the difference in energies of the ms=0 spin state and the ms=−1 spin state.
The optical excitation source 310 may be a laser or a light emitting diode, for example, which emits light in the green (light having a wavelength such that the color is green), for example. The optical excitation source 310 induces fluorescence in the red, which corresponds to an electronic transition from the excited state to the ground state. Light from the NV diamond material 320 is directed through the optical filter 350 to filter out light in the excitation band (in the green, for example), and to pass light in the red fluorescence band, which in turn is detected by the detector 340. The optical excitation light source 310, in addition to exciting fluorescence in the diamond material 320, also serves to reset the population of the ms=0 spin state of the ground state 3A2 to a maximum polarization, or other desired polarization.
For continuous wave excitation, the optical excitation source 310 continuously pumps the NV centers, and the RF excitation source 330 sweeps across a frequency range that includes the zero splitting (when the ms=±1 spin states have the same energy) photon energy of approximately 2.87 GHz. The fluorescence for an RF sweep corresponding to a diamond material 320 with NV centers aligned along a single direction is shown in
In general, the diamond material 320 will have NV centers aligned along directions of four different orientation classes.
While
The proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 is a coil for inducing magnetic resonance in the subsurface liquid 690, such as oil, by generating a magnetic resonance (MR) field from the coil. The proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 may be a flat coil, such as a flat figure-8gradiometer coil such as that described in L. Chavez, et al., “Detecting Arctic oil spills with NMR: α feasibility study”, Near Surface Geophysics, Vol 13, No 4, August 2015, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. The proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 is configured to induce magnetic 1H magnetic resonance in the subsurface liquid 690 and any other different liquids below the position of the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610. By exploiting the magnetic relaxation differential between the subsurface liquid of interest and any other liquids near the subsurface liquid of interest, a general location of the subsurface liquid can be estimated. In some implementations, the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 may be mounted to a substructure, such as a tubular frame, piping, or other substructure to maintain the coil 610 configuration and shape. In some instances, the substructure may be coupled to a vehicle, such as a helicopter, or other device to move the substructure and the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610. The proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 is a large scale coil, such as on the order of 10 meters, and may be difficult to detect a particular location of the subsurface liquid 690. Accordingly, an array 620 of magnetometers 622 may be implemented with the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 to exploit the magnetic resonance excitation from the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 and detected a location of the subsurface liquid 690 using the vector signals from sets of magnetometers 622.
The array 620 of the magnetometers 622 may be mounted to the substructure to which the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 is mounted and/or may be independent of the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610. The array 620 is generally positioned in a circular arrangement relative to the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610, but the array 620 may have other geometric configurations, such as square, rectangular, triangular, ovular, etc. Other possible array configurations may include a two-dimensional array filling a circular area subtended by the excitation coil or a three-dimensional array positioned above or below the excitation coil with an area projected within the coil. The magnetometers 622 of the present disclosure are DNV magnetometers, but other vector magnetometry devices may be utilized as well, such as superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). Such SQUID devices are described in greater detail in L Q Qiu, et al, “SQUID-detected NMR in Earth's Magnetic Field”, 8th European Conference on Applied Superconductivity (ELICAS 2007), Journal of Physics: Conference Series 97 (2008) 012026, IOP Publishing; A. N. Matlashov, et al., “SQUIDs for Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Ultra-low Magnetic Field”, PIERS online 5.5 (2009); and/or J. Clarke, et al., “SQUID-Detected Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Microtesla Fields”, Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, Vol. 9: 389-413 (2007), the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. In some implementations, the array of magnetometers is an array of gas-cell detectors.
The controller 650 is electrically coupled to and/or in communication with the array 620 of magnetometers 622 and, in some implementations, the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 to control the magnetometers 622 and, optionally, the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610. In addition, the controller 650 is configured to utilize the output from the magnetometers 622 to generate a location, two-dimensional reconstruction, and/or three-dimensional reconstruction of the subsurface liquid 690 as will be described in greater detail in reference to
Referring to
The process 700 further includes activating the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 (block 704). Activating the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 induces a magnetic resonance in the subsurface liquid 690 that will be measured by the magnetometers 622. The process 700 further includes activating the magnetometers 622 (block 706). For magnetometers such as DNV magnetometers, the activation step can be rapid after the proton spin resonance excitation coil 610 is deactivated. That is, the rapid “turn on” time for DNV magnetometers can be used to detect the magnetic signal from the magnetic resonant excited subsurface liquid 690 quickly after the excitation coil 610 is deactivated, allowing for a larger magnetic signal (and therefore a more easily discernable magnetic signal) to be detected than other magnetometers. The process 700 further includes recording the oscillatory 1H MR precession in Earth's field by the magnetometers (block 708). The process 700 further includes filtering the local, approximately static, Earth field from the magnetic signal detected by the magnetometers (block 710). In some implementations, the filtering may discriminate the magnetic signal of the subsurface liquid 690 from the local Earth field by AC filtering pulse sequence, such as Hahn Echo. In other implementations, the filtering may use a reversal of 1H magnetization in alternating signal co-additions to enhance discrimination of the magnetic signal of the subsurface liquid 690 relative to the local Earth field. The process 700 includes generating a location, a two-dimensional reconstruction, and/or a three-dimensional reconstruction of the subsurface liquid 690 based on the filtered magnetic signal from the magnetometers (block 712). The generation of the location (e.g., scalar or numerical location), two-dimensional reconstruction, and/or three-dimensional reconstruction may be through a back-projection and/or tomographic algorithm for image reconstruction, such as those similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or computed tomography (CT).
