Abstract

We measure electron and nuclear spin transition frequencies in the ground state of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond for two nitrogen isotopes (14NV^{14}\mathrm{NV} and 15NV^{15}\mathrm{NV}) over temperatures ranging from 77 K to 400 K. Measurements are performed using Ramsey interferometry and direct optical readout of the nuclear and electron spins. We extract coupling parameters QQ (for 14NV^{14}\mathrm{NV}), DD, AA_{||}, AA_{\perp}, γe/γn\gamma_e/\gamma_n, and their temperature dependences for both isotopes. The temperature dependences of the nuclear-spin transitions within the ms=0m_s = 0 spin manifold near room temperature are found to be +0.52(1) ppm/K for 14NV^{14}\mathrm{NV} (mI=1>mI=+1>|m_I=-1> \leftrightarrow |m_I=+1>) and -1.1(1) ppm/K for 15NV^{15}\mathrm{NV} (mI=1/2>mI=+1/2>|m_I=-1/2> \leftrightarrow |m_I=+1/2>). An isotopic shift in the zero-field splitting parameter DD between 14NV^{14}\mathrm{NV} and 15NV^{15}\mathrm{NV} is measured to be \sim 120 kHz. Residual transverse magnetic fields are observed to shift the nuclear spin transition frequencies, especially for 15NV^{15}\mathrm{NV}. We have precisely determined the set of parameters relevant for the development of nuclear-spin-based diamond quantum sensors with greatly reduced sensitivity to environmental factors.
