On Investigation as Grown NV Centers in Delta Doped Layers in Diamond

摘要

The possibility of controlled creation of NV centers at any given depth have a substantial potential for quantum information processing and sensor applications. Here we report on creation of localized NV centers using nitrogen delta doping during a chemical vapor deposition diamond growth process. Using confocal microscopy, we investigated optical properties of as grown NV centers in delta-doped layer, demonstrated availability of isolated space clusters of color centers in the layer, analyzed space distribution of these clusters, and using seconds-order correlation function measurements demonstrated that clusters contain from one to few color centers.
