Characteristic photoluminescence (PL) of nanodiamonds (ND) of very different origin (detonation, HPHT, extracted from meteorite) was studied in situ at high temperatures in the range 20-450C. Luminescence was excited using 473 nm laser and…
The high-pressure melting curves of metals provide simple and useful tests for theories of melting, as well as important constraints for the modeling of planetary interiors. Here, we present an experimental technique that reveals the latent…
Extreme pressures and temperatures create conditions that allow even hard and brittle materials to deform plastically. Despite extensive research, the upper limits of flow strength, the resistance to plastic flow, remain uncertain, and the…
We demonstrate the cooling of a microwave mode at 2872 MHz through its interaction with optically spin-polarized NV$^-$ centers in diamond at zero applied magnetic field, removing thermal photons from the mode. By photo-exciting (pumping) a…
The objective of this study is to explore conditions that facilitate a significant reduction in substrate temperature during diamond growth. The typical temperature for this process is around 1200K; we aim to reduce it to a much lower…
A nitrogen-vacancy (NV$^-$) center in a nanodiamond, levitated in high vacuum, has recently been proposed as a probe for demonstrating mesoscopic center-of-mass superpositions \cite{Scala2013, Zhang2013} and for testing quantum gravity…
This study reveals a previously unreported phenomenon: elastic softening of synthetic diamonds at temperatures below 1 K. We present ultrasonic measurements on single-crystalline, non-irradiated synthetic diamonds--namely, type-IIa…
A method for obtaining a smooth, single crystal diamond surface is presented, whereby a sacrificial defective layer is created by implantation and graphitized by annealing before being selectively etched. We have used O+ at 240 keV, the…
Control of the crystalline orientation of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defects in diamond is here demonstrated by tuning the temperature of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth on a (113)-oriented diamond substrate. We show that preferential…
We have determined the crystal structures and superconducting transition temperatures of La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4 under nearly hydrostatic pressures in diamond anvil cells to 5.0 GPa and 19.0 GPa, respectively. Synchrotron x-ray powder…
We combine density functional theory within the local density approximation, the quasiharmonic approximation, and vibrational density of states to calculate single crystal elastic constants, and bulk and shear moduli of diamond at…
In this paper the design of a simple, space constrained chemical vapour deposition reactor for diamond growth is detailed. Based on the design by NIRIM, the reactor is composed of a quartz discharge tube placed within a 2.45 GHz waveguide…
The high-pressure and high-temperature behaviors of sodium chloride (NaCl) have the fundamental and application significance to the high pressure physics and chemistry. To explore the reactivity of NaCl at high pressure and high…
We describe an experimental platform that generates infrared images of micrometer-sized samples in the high pressure region of a diamond anvil cell. Using a 2.3 micron laser as a source of radiation, the system will be particularly useful…
The formation of technologically valuable nanocarbon structures under extreme conditions, such as those produced during high-explosive detonations, remains poorly understood but holds significant potential for the development of controlled…
Diamonds melt at temperatures above 4000 K. There are no measurements of the steady-state rate of the reverse process: diamond nucleation from the melt, because experiments are difficult at these extreme temperatures and pressures. Using…
Diamond holds significant promise for a wide range of applications due to its exceptional physicochemical properties. Investigating the controlled diamond preparation from nanocarbon precursors with varying dimensions is crucial to optimize…
Bulk single crystals of manganese arsenide (MnAs) were grown from melt at 1 GPa and 1100 {\deg}C by using a cubic-anvil, high-pressure, and high-temperature technique. The as-grown black colored crystals extracted from solidified lump…
Nanodiamonds containing color centers open up many applications in quantum information processing, metrology, and quantum sensing. In particular, silicon vacancy (SiV) centers are prominent candidates as quantum emitters due to their…
Nanodiamonds have emerged as promising materials for quantum computing, biolabeling, and sensing due to their ability to host color centers with remarkable photostability and long spin-coherence times at room temperature. Recently, a…
