Negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV−) centers in diamond have unique magneto-
optical properties, such as high fluorescence, single-photon generation, millisecond-long …

Improving the yield of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers at the nanoscale can provide a
deeper understanding of the formation mechanism of NV color centers and boost the …

As a representative of third-generation semiconductors, silicon carbide serves as a new
platform for quantum nano-optics with readable paramagnetic color centers such as silicon …

This work reports on defect engineering related to optical centers in diamond by ion
implantation. In particular, we demonstrate that thermal diffusion of vacancies to a few …

The implantation of diamonds with helium ions has become a common method to create
hundreds-nanometers-thick near-surface layers of NV centers for high-sensitivity sensing …

The freely available “Stop** and Range of Ions in Matter”(SRIM) code is used for
evaluating ion beam ranges and depth profiles. We present secondary ion mass …

We describe a method to automatically generate an ion implantation recipe, a set of
energies and fluences, to produce a desired defect density profile in a solid using the fewest …

The nitrogen‐vacancy color center in diamond is one of the important systems in the fast‐
growing field of sensing. This color center is used in both high‐resolution and high …

Ion implantation in diamond crystals is widely used both for producing conducting
microstructures in the bulk of the material and for creating isolated photon emitters in …

Diamond-based compounds are ideal materials to build nanoengineered devices with wide
applicability in nanophotonics, optomechanics, photovoltaics and electronics, where tuning …
