  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Carbon Nanoparticles and Nanostructures

Part of the book series: Carbon Nanostructures ((CARBON))

Abstract

Diamond nanoparticle hosting negatively-charged nitrogen vacancy (NV−) center has unique chemical, optical and spin properties in a wide range of nanotechnology applications. For instance, diamond nanoparticles containing NV centers have been well-known as Fluorescent NanoDiamond (FND) for fluorescence imaging. Recently the NV− center has been applied for nanothermometry. In this chapter we are going to discuss the recent advances of the NV− center for bioimaging and quantum sensing.
