A new method is developed to design controllers in Euclidean space for systems defined on manifolds. The idea is to embed the state-space manifold $M$ of a given control system into some Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$, extend the system from…
The realization of photonic crystals (PC) in diamond is of major importance for the entire field of spintronics based on fluorescent centers in diamond. The processing steps for the case of diamond differ from those commonly used, due to…
The SNS Project intends to integrate Conventional Facility Controls with its EPICS-based Accelerator and Target Control Systems. EPICS will therefore be used to provide distributed high-level access to all subsystems of the SNS conventional…
We report on the principle and realization of a new trap for excitons -- the diamond electrostatic trap -- which uses a single electrode to create a confining potential for excitons. We also create elevated diamond traps which permit…
Diamond is a host for a wide variety of colour centres that have demonstrated outstanding optical and spin properties. Among them, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre is by far the most investigated owing to its superior characteristics, which…

Fermilab has traditionally not been an EPICS house; as such expertise in EPICS is limited and scattered. PIP-II will be using EPICS for its control system. When in operation, it will need to interface with the existing, modernized (see…
The STAR experiment has been delivering significant physics results for more than 20 years. Stable operation of the experiment was achieved by using a robust controls system based on the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System…
Magnet stability and reproducibility have become increasingly important as greater precision and beams with smaller dimension are required for research, medical and other purpose. The observed causes of mechanical and electrical instability…
