Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāWe propose a method to measure the hyperfine vectors between a\nnitrogen-vacancy (NV) center and an environment of interacting nuclear spins.\nOur protocol enables the generation of tunable electron-nuclear coupling\nHamiltonians while suppressing unwanted inter-nuclear interactions. In this\nmanner, each nucleus can be addressed and controlled individually thereby\npermitting the reconstruction of the individual hyperfine vectors. With this\nability the 3D-structure of spin ensembles and spins in bio-molecules can be\nidentified without the necessity of varying the direction of applied magnetic\nfields. We demonstrate examples including the complete reconstruction of an\ninteracting spin cluster in diamond and 3D imaging of all the nuclear spins in\na bio-molecule.\n
