Abstract Diamond color centers with applications to single photon sources, quantum computation, and magnetic field sensing down the nanoscale have been investigated using ensembles of near‐surface implanted atoms. Deterministic ion implantation for ions stopping between 30 130 nm deep is demonstrated by configuring an electronic‐grade diamond substrate a biased surface graphene electrode connec...

The in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradation of cross-linked (co)polyethers with and without tertiary hydrogen atoms in the main chain and differing in hydrophilicity were studied by means of subcutaneous implantation in rats. After 4 days, 1 month, and 3 months postimplantation, the tissue reactions and interactions were evaluated by light microscopy (LM) and transmission electron microscop...

As reported in Part I ("In vivo testing of crosslinked polyethers. I. Tissue reactions and biodegradation," J. Biomed. Mater. Res., this issue, pp. 307-320), microscopical evaluation after implantation of crosslinked (co)polyethers in rats showed differences in the rate of biodegradation, depending on the presence of tertiary hydrogen atoms in the main chain and the hydrophilicity of the polyet...

Fluorescence-yield X-ray absorption fine structure (FY-XAFS) is extensively used for investigating atomic-scale local structures around specific elements in functional materials. However, conventional FY-XAFS instruments frequently cannot cover trace light elements, for example dopants in wide gap semiconductors, because of insufficient energy resolution of semiconductor X-ray detectors. Here w...

We report the fabrication of G centers in silicon with an areal density compatible single photon emission at optical telecommunication wavelengths. Our sample is made from a silicon-on-insulator wafer which locally implanted carbon ions and protons various fluences. Decreasing implantation fluences enables to gradually switch large ensembles isolated defects, reaching densities down $\sim$0.2 $...

The nitrogen-vacancy center (NV) in diamond, with its exceptional spin coherence and convenience optical initialization readout, is increasingly used both as a quantum sensor building block for networks. Employing photonic structures maximizing the photon collection efficiency these applications typically leads to broadened linewidths emitters, which are commonly created via nitrogen ion implan...

Doping of Ge with Sn atoms by ion implantation and annealing by solid phase epitaxial re-growth process was investigated as a possible way to create Ge1-xSnx layers. Ion implantation was carried out at liquid nitrogen to avoid nano-void formation and three implant doses were tested: 5x10, 1x10 and 5x10 at/cm, respectively. Implant energy was set to 45 keV and implants were carried out through a...

The effects of aluminum implantation on HfO2 thin films using plasma immersion ion implantation (Al– PIII samples) are investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal that most of the implanted aluminum atoms accumulated near the surface region of the oxide film. The greatly reduced leakage current, smaller flatband shift and steep transition from the accumulation to the depl...

in this paper we study the relationships existing between total measurability in variation and gould type fuzzy integrability (introduced and studied in [21]), giving a special interest on their behaviour on atoms and on finite unions of disjoint atoms. we also establish that any continuous real valued function defined on a compact metric space is totally measurable in the variation of a regula...

Two-dimensional magnets are promising for nanoscale spintronic applications. Currently, most available candidates based on $3d$ transition metal compounds, with hexagonal or honeycomb lattice geometry. Here, a GdCl$_3$ monolayer $4f$ moments is theoretically studied, which can be exfoliated from its existing bulk. Its orthorhombic structure and hendecahedral ion cages unique in two-dimensional....
