▼ [16p-A408-16] Temperature Sensing Based on Germanium-vacancy in Detonation Nanodiamond
Keywords:nanodiamond, temperature sensing, germanium-vacancy center
Group IV color centers such as silicon-vacancy center (SiV) and germanium-vacancy center (GeV) in nanodiamonds (NDs) are promising candidates for all-optical nanoscale temperature sensing for their excellent quantum efficiency. A challenge is that NDs size should be smaller than 30 nm for live-cell application. This motivated small size NDs synthesis method development such as detonation method. After temperature sensing success by SiV-containing detonation NDs (SiV-DNDs), it catches our interests that detonation synthesis of GeV-containing detonation NDs (GeV-DNDs) recently succeed. In current study, we focus on temperature sensing with GeV-DNDs. Linear response to temperature is confirmed by peak wavelength shift amount changes to temperature. In the average NDs size 20nm group, a sub-Kelvin temperature change can be measured in 10 seconds. GeV-DNDs and SiV-DNDs will pave the road to multi-color imaging application and local temperature measurements of live-cell organelles.
