Two papers recently published outline how research teams in Abdelghani Laraoui's lab are using a quantum sensing technique his lab developed that could lead to significant breakthroughs in data transport technologies and disease treatment. The first paper, Mapping of Spin-Wave Transport in Thulium Iron Garnet Thin Films Using Diamond Quantum Microscopy, was published in Advanced Electronic Materials and shows how the team made the first documented measurements of how surface spin waves propagate in thin films of thulium iron garnet (TmIG). The second paper, Nitrogen-Vacancy Magnetic Relaxometry of Nanocluster Cytochrome C Proteins, published in Nano Letters, shows how researchers used the nitrogen-vacancy layer as a quantum sensor to more accurately assess the performance of cytochrome C (Cyt-C) nanoclusters, which are water-soluble proteins that play a vital role in electron transport chains of mitochondria.
