Summary
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables three-dimensional images to be created in a non-destructive and safe manner. Mechanical resonators can greatly increase the sensitivity of MRI compared to commercial systems. Considerable effort is being expended to push magnetic resonance imaging down to single atom resolution. This is currently done by applying large-amplitude magnetic pulses at milliKelvin temperatures. However, these large-amplitude pulses generate heating, creating a roadblock for reaching single atom resolution. Here, we propose a completely new approach to carry out magnetic resonance force microscopy at room temperature. This is expected to eliminate the effect of the “heating” roadblock, opening a new route to achieving MRI with single-atom resolution.
