Pure negatively charged state of the NV center inn-type diamond

Nondecaying long range effect of surface decoration on the charge state of NV center in diamond.

On the basis of density functional theory, stability and electronic structure of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in surface modified diamond have been studied. Surface decoration is traditionally expected to only have influence on those NV centers close to the surface. However, our calculations indicate that its effect to charged NV centers is nondecaying and long-range, where the formation energ...

New insight into the spin-conserving excitation of the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond

The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (N-V(-)) color center in diamond is an important solid-state single photon source for applications to quantum communication and distributed quantum computation. Its full usefulness relies on sufficient radiative emission of the optical photons which requires realizable control to enhance emission into the zero-phonon line (ZPL) but until now is still a ch...
