Diamond particles containing color centers—fluorescent crystallographic defects embedded
within the diamond lattice—outperform other classes of fluorophores by providing a …

We present a high throughput and systematic method for the screening of colour centres in
diamond with the aim of searching for and reproducibly creating new optical centres down to …

With the creation of nitrogen (NV) in 1b diamond it is common to find that the absorption and
emission is predominantly of negatively charged NV centres. This occurs because electrons …

The fabrication of luminescent defects in single-crystal diamond upon Sn implantation and
annealing is reported. The relevant spectral features of the optical centers (emission peaks …

Superradiance (SR) is a cooperative phenomenon which occurs when an ensemble of
quantum emitters couples collectively to a mode of the electromagnetic field as a single …

Today's huge amount of data generation and transfer induced an urgent requirement for
long-term data storage. Here, we demonstrate and discuss a concept for long-term storage …

We present the controlled creation of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers via ion
implantation at the center of a photonic crystal cavity which is fabricated in an ultrapure …

Individual, luminescent point defects in solids, so-called color centers, are atomic-sized
quantum systems enabling sensing and imaging with nanoscale spatial resolution. In this …

Control over the formation and fluorescence properties of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in
nanodiamonds (NDs) is an important factor for their use in medical and sensor applications …

Treatment of laboratory-grown diamond by electron irradiation and annealing has enabled
quantum sensors based on negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV−) centers to …
