The invention relates to a cultural relic lossless dating method based on
diamond nitrogen-vacancy color center
quantum sensing, and belongs to the technical field of cultural relic age determination and
quantum sensing. The method solves the problem that
destructive sampling needs to be carried out in traditional cultural relic dating technologies such as radioactive carbon dating and
thermoluminescence dating, so that permanent damage is caused to cultural relics. Firstly, a sample is prepared and positioned, and a flat area rich in
magnetic minerals on the surface of a cultural relic is selected; acquiring high-resolution three-dimensional shape data by using a scanning probe; a
quantum probe integrated with
a diamond nitrogen vacancy color center is adopted to measure surface stray
magnetic field distribution in a non-contact manner through an optical detection magnetic
resonance technology; based on the
magnetic field data and the morphology information, equivalent thermal
remanence vectors including
magnetic declination, magnetic inclination and
magnetization intensity in the cultural relic are calculated through a
frequency domain inversion
algorithm; and finally, comparing the paleomagnetic field parameter obtained by inversion with an archaeological geomagnetic long-term change reference curve, and determining a cultural relic firing age interval through least square method matching. According to the invention, zero-
damage detection is realized.
