Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāWe report on detailed studies of electronic and nuclear spin states in the diamond-nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center under weak transverse magnetic fields. We numerically predict and experimentally verify a previously unobserved NV hyperfine level anticrossing (LAC) occurring at bias fields of tens of gauss---two orders of magnitude lower than previously reported LACs at $\ensuremath{\sim}500$ and $\ensuremath{\sim}1000$ G axial magnetic fields. We then discuss how the NV ground-state Hamiltonian can be manipulated in this regime to tailor the NVās sensitivity to environmental factors and to map into the nuclear spin state.
