Download or read book Yield Optimization of Nitrogen Vacancy Centers in Diamond written by Jeson Chen and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
