摘要
Abrikosov vortices play a fundamental role in the magnetic and electric properties of superconductors. The study of their pinning forces is essential to better understand the stability of vortex lattices, with the aim of increasing critical currents in superconductors. However, the study of vortices is challenging because of their nanometric sizes and the large variation in the pinning forces. In this Letter, we use a single nitrogen-vacancy center in a nanodiamond as a nanoscale magneto sensor to locally probe single vortices and their pinning effects in a thin niobium film. This simple, far-field optical approach also offers the possibility of manipulating a single spin with a single flux quantum.
