Abstract Negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) diamond magnetometers are promising candidates for room-temperature magnetic field sensing. However, systematic studies of magnetic field sensors that evaluate the sensitivity of NV-diamond magnetometers as a function of multiple parameters are sparse. By comparing optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) dips for four single-crystal diamonds, we explored how the photon shot-noise-limited sensitivity and experimental magnetic noise floor were influenced by the density of the NV centers and methods of their formation. The lowest shot-noise-limited sensitivity was 380 pT √Hz −1 ; it was significantly affected by ODMR fluorescence, contrast, and linewidth. Using dual-resonance modulation in ODMR, the experimental lowest magnetic noise floor based on power spectral density was 1.14 nT √Hz −1 . These values can be improved with an increase in laser power. This study will facilitate the selection of appropriate NV diamonds when designing magnetometers for various applications.
