Abstract

We present systematic measurements of longitudinal relaxation rates ( $1/T_1$ ) of spin polarization in the ground state of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV $^-$ ) color center in synthetic diamond as a function of NV $^-$ concentration and magnetic field $B$ . NV $^-$ centers were created by irradiating a Type 1b single-crystal diamond along the [100] axis with 200 keV electrons from a transmission electron microscope with varying doses to achieve spots of different NV $^-$ center concentrations. Values of ( $1/T_1$ ) were measured for each spot as a function of $B$ .
