Magnetoencephalography with a chip-scale atomic magnetometer
We report on the measurement of somatosensory-evoked and spontaneous magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals with a chip-scale atomic magnetometer (CSAM) based on optical spectroscopy of alkali atoms. The uncooled, fiber-coupled CSAM has a sensitive volume of 0.77 mm(3) inside a sensor head of volume 1 cm(3) and enabled convenient handling, similar to an electroencephalography (EEG) electrode. Whe...
متن کاملMulti-channel atomic magnetometer for magnetoencephalography: A configuration study
Atomic magnetometers are emerging as an alternative to SQUID magnetometers for detection of biological magnetic fields. They have been used to measure both the magnetocardiography (MCG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals. One of the virtues of the atomic magnetometers is their ability to operate as a multi-channel detector while using many common elements. Here we study two configurations...
متن کاملChip-Scale Atomic Frequency References
We describe recent efforts at NIST to develop chip-scale atomic frequency references based on microfabrication techniques commonly used in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). These frequency references are projected to have a volume of 1 cm, a power dissipation of 30 mW and a fractional frequency instability of 10 at one hour of integration. To date, we have demonstrated the three critical s...
متن کاملNMR detection with an atomic magnetometer.
We demonstrate detection of NMR signals using a noncryogenic atomic magnetometer and describe several novel applications of this technique. A nuclear spin-precession signal from water is detected using a spin-exchange-relaxation-free potassium magnetometer. We also demonstrate detection of less than 10(13) 129Xe atoms whose NMR signal is enhanced by a factor of 540 due to Fermi-contact interact...
متن کاملMPS and ACS with an atomic magnetometer
We show that a single atomic magnetometer in a magnetically unshielded environment can be used to perform magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) and AC susceptometry (ACS) on liquid-suspended magnetic nanoparticles. We demonstrate methods allowing a simultaneous recording of M (H ) and dM /dH (H ) dependences of samples containing down to 1 μg of iron. Our results pave the way towards an atomic m...
