Negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have been extensively studied as a promising high sensitivity solid-state magnetic field sensor at room temperature. However, their use for current sensing applications is limited…
Irradiation with high energy photons (10.2 - 11.8 eV) was applied to small diamondoids isolated in solid rare gas matrices at low temperature. The photoproducts were traced via UV absorption spectroscopy. We found that upon ionization the…
The emission intensity of diamond samples containing nitrogen-vacancy centres are measured as a function of magnetic field along a <111> direction for various temperatures. At low temperatures the responses are sample and stress dependent…
Focused MeV ion beams with micrometric resolution are suitable tools for the direct writing of conductive graphitic channels buried in an insulating diamond bulk. Their effectiveness has been shown for the fabrication of multi-electrode…
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are widely used in the development of a number of sensors. The sensitivity of these devices is limited by both the number of centers used and their coherent properties. While the effects on the…
A technique has been developed for depositing diamond crystals on the endfaces of optical fibers and capturing the fluorescence generated by optically active defects in the diamond into the fiber. This letter details the diamond growth on…
The ability to optically initialize the electronic spin of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond has long been considered a valuable resource to enhance the polarization of neighboring nuclei, but efficient polarization transfer to…
We report an experimental design where the position and resonance frequency of the Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) in a diamond are correlated with the room temperature. A simple model trained on the interpolated correlation data predicts both…
We report the experimental study of the temperature-dependence of the longitudinal spin relaxation time $T_1$ of single Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers hosted in nanodiamonds. To determine the relaxation mechanisms at stake, measurements of…
Diamond is a solid-state platform to develop quantum technologies, but it has been a long-standing problem that the current understanding of quantum states in diamond is mostly limited to single-electron pictures. Here, we combine the full…
The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond has been recognized as a high-sensitivity nanometer-scale metrology platform. Thermometry has been a recent focus, with attention largely confined to room temperature applications. Thermometry has…
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…
We use the technique of chopped nonlinear magneto-optic rotation (NMOR) in a room temperature $^{133}$Cs vapor cell to measure the permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) in the atom. The cell has paraffin coating on the walls to increase…

The defect in diamond formed by a vacancy surrounded by three nearest-neighbor nitrogen atoms and one carbon atom, $\mathrm{N}_{3}\mathrm{V}$, is found in $\approx98\%$ of natural diamonds. Despite $\mathrm{N}_{3}\mathrm{V}^{0}$ being the…
Nitrogen vacancy centers (NV) in proximity to diamond surfaces are promising nanoscale quantum sensors. However, their coherence properties are negatively affected by magnetic and electric surface noise, whose origin and detailed impact…
Nanoconfined liquid crystals (LCs) and their nanocomposites are driving the next generation of photonic applications. Consequently, deepening our understanding of mesophase stability, defect topology, and the dynamic response of LCs at the…
Single-crystal diamond is a promising material for MEMs devices because of its low mechanical loss, compatibility with extreme environments, and built-in interface to high-quality spin centers. But its use has largely been limited by…
In this paper, we study the photoinduced switching of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center between two different charge states - negative (NV-) and neutral (NV0) at liquid helium temperature. The conversion of NV- to NV0 on a single defect is…
Solid-state quantum emitters that couple coherent optical transitions to long-lived spin qubits are essential for quantum networks. Here we report on the spin and optical properties of individual tin-vacancy (SnV) centers in diamond…
