Equipex eDiamant

The Earth and Planets team is a partner in the Equipex+ eDiamant programme, led by physicists from ENS-Saclay.

This spintronics project focuses on the development of nitrogen-lacunar diamonds (NV diamonds) that can be used as microscopic magnetic sensors.

CEREGE will be equipped with a wide-field NV magnetometer as part of this project. This type of instrument, also known as a Quantum Diamond Microscope, is currently only available in a very limited number of laboratories around the world. This project will allow us to remain at the forefront of the instrumental competition for the study of rock magnetism.

Head of CEREGE:
Jerome Gattaceca
