Abstract: This research focuses on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (NMRFM) studies of room-temperature liquids. A series of magnetically-capped oscillators was custom-made and characterized to form the core of the sensor. These were then employed in a novel probe with liquid samples and a sensor in vacuum, and used to study ¹H resonance in a low-field electromagnet at room temperature. Tests were carried out sweeping RF frequency and magnetic field, confirming ¹H resonance response.
