Diamond Nanoscience Laboratory MQ
The Diamond Nanoscience Laboratory engineers next-generation diamond nanotechnologies for applications in quantum information, ultrahigh-resolution sensing and biomedical applications. It is part of the Quantum Materials & Applications Group (QMAPP) at Macquarie University.
The Diamond Nanoscience team uses custom-built confocal microscopes, both at room and helium temperatures, in combination with an atomic force microscope (AFM), laser sources and microwave equipment, to analyse the optical, physical, and spin properties of the nanodiamonds, down to few-nanometre size. Our cutting-edge setups have enabled important studies on the fluorescence properties of nanodiamonds, including blinking, cooperative forces and superradiance.
Our research
The Quantum Materials and Applications (QMAPP) group focuses on cross-disciplinary research activities in quantum physics, nanotechnology and material science. Macquarie University is part of the Sydney Quantum Academy (SQA), a collaboration between four Sydney universities backed by the New South Wales government.
