Yield Optimization of Nitrogen Vacancy Centers in Diamond
Abstract
To fully exploit the capability of NV centers in diamond as magnetic sensors and
quantum bits, the optimum production recipe as well as the method to enhance its optical
performance has been studied in this work. The NV centers in bulk diamond were
prepared by ion implantation and electron irradiation, and the optimum dose and
temperature are found by comparing its optical and magnetic performance both
experimentally and theoretically. In addition, the enhancement of optical performance
and size characterization of NV centers in nanodiamonds will be discussed in this work.
