▎ 摘  要

We report on nanometer magnetic imaging of two-dimensional current flow in bilayer graphene devices at room temperature. By combining dynamical modulation of the source-drain current with ac quantum sensing of a nitrogen-vacancy center in the diamond probe tip, we acquire magnetic field and current density maps with excellent sensitivities of 4.6 nT and 20 nA/mu m, respectively. The spatial resolution is 50-100 nm. We introduce a set of methods for increasing the technique's dynamic range and for mitigating undesired back-action of magnetometry operation (scanning tip, laser and microwave pulses) on the electronic transport. Finally, we show that our imaging technique is able to resolve small variations in the current flow pattern in response to changes in the background potential. Our experiments demonstrate the feasibility for detecting and imaging subtle spatial features of nanoscale transport in two-dimensional materials and conductors.
