Abstract:
Abstract The nitrogen-vacancy colour centre in diamond is emerging as one of the most important solid-state quantum systems. It has applications to fields including high-precision sensing, quantum computing, single photon communication, metrology, nanoscale magnetic imaging and biosensing. For all of these applications, a high quantum yield of emitted photons is desirable. However, diamond samples engineered to have high densities of nitrogen-vacancy centres show levels of brightness varying significantly within single batches, or even within the same sample. Here we show that nearby nitrogen impurities quench emission of nitrogen-vacancy centres via non-radiative transitions, resulting in a reduced fluorescence quantum yield. We monitored the emission properties of nitrogen-vacancy centre ensembles from synthetic diamond samples with different concentrations of nitrogen impurities. All samples were irradiated with high energy electrons to create high densities of nitrogen-vacancy centres relative to the concentration of nitrogen impurities. While at low nitrogen densities of 1.81 ppm we measured a lifetime of 13.9 ns, we observed a strong reduction in lifetime with increasing nitrogen density. We measure a lifetime as low as 4.4 ns at a nitrogen density of 380 ppm. The change in lifetime matches a reduction in relative fluorescence quantum yield from 77.4% to 32% with an increase in nitrogen density from 88 ppm to 380 ppm, respectively. These results will inform the conditions required to optimise the properties of diamond crystals devices based on the fluorescence of nitrogen-vacancy centres. Furthermore, this work provides insights into the origin of inhomogeneities observed in high-density nitrogen-vacancy ensembles within diamonds and nanodiamonds.

Abstract:
AbstractNanocrystalline diamond films with bright photoluminescence of silicon-vacancy colour centres have been grown using a microwave plasma enhanced CVD technique. The influence of substrate material (quartz, Al2O3, Mo and Si) on a reproducible fabrication of diamond thin films with Si-V optical centres is presented. Film quality and morphology are characterized by Raman spectroscopy and SEM technique. SEM shows well faceted diamond grains with sizes from 170 to 300 nm. The diamond peak is confirmed in Raman spectra for all samples. In the case of the quartz substrate, a redshift of the diamond peak is observed (≈3.5 cm−1) due to tension in the diamond film. The steady-state photoluminescence intensity was measured in the temperature range from 11 K to 300 K. All spectra consist of a broad emission band with a maximum near 600 nm and of a sharp zero phonon line in the vicinity of 738 nm corresponding to Si-V centres that is accompanied with a phonon sideband peaking at 757 nm. Activation energies for the thermal quenching of Si-V centre photoluminescence were determined and the effect of the substrate on photoluminescence properties is discussed too.

Abstract:
Practical implementation of many quantum information and sensing technologies relies on the ability to efficiently generate and manipulate single-photon photons under ambient conditions. Color centers in diamond, such as the silicon-vacancy (SiV) center, have recently emerged as extremely attractive single-photon emitters for room temperature applications. However, diamond is a material at the interface between insulators and semiconductors. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to excite color centers electrically and consequently develop bright and efficient electrically driven single-photon sources. Here, using a comprehensive theoretical approach, we propose and numerically demonstrate a concept of a single-photon emitting diode (SPED) based on a SiV center in a nanoscale AlN/diamond heterojunction device. We find that in spite of the high potential barrier for electrons in AlN at the AlN/diamond heterojunction, under forward bias, electrons can be efficiently injected from AlN into the i-type diamond region of the n-AlN/i-diamond/p-diamond heterostructure, which ensures bright single-photon electroluminescence (SPEL) of the SiV center located in the i-type diamond region. The maximum SPEL rate is more than five times higher than what can be achieved in SPEDs based on diamond p-i-n diodes. Despite the high density of defects at the AlN/diamond interface, the SPEL rate can reach about 4 Mcps, which coincides with the limit imposed by the quantum efficiency and the lifetime of the shelving state of the SiV center. These findings provide new insights into the development of bright room-temperature electrically driven single-photon sources for quantum information technologies and, we believe, stimulate further research in this area.

Abstract:
The unique quantum properties of the nitrogen–vacancy (NV) center in diamond have motivated efforts to find defects with similar properties in silicon carbide (SiC), which can extend the functionality of such systems not available to the diamond. As an example, results of experiments on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) are presented suggests that silicon vacancy (VSi) related point defects in SiC possess properties the similar to those of the NV center in diamond, which in turn make them a promising quantum system for single-defect and single-photon spectroscopy in the infrared region. Depending on the defect type, temperature, SiC polytype, and crystalline position, two opposite schemes have been observed for the optical alignment of the high-spin ground state spin sublevels population of the VSi-related defects upon irradiation with unpolorized light. Spin ensemble of VSi-related defects are shown to be prepared in a coherent superposition of the spin states even at room temperature. Zero-field (ZF) ODMR shows the possibility to manipulate of the ground state spin population by applying radiofrequency field. These altogether make VSi-related defects in SiC very favorable candidate for spintronics, quantum information processing, and magnetometry.

Abstract:
One of the most promising platforms to implement quantum technologies are coupled electron-nuclear spins in solids in which electrons can play a role of “fast” qubits, while nuclear spins can store quantum information for a very long time due to their exceptionally high isolation from the environment. The well-known representative of such systems is the “nitrogen-vacancy” (NV) center in diamond coupled by a hyperfine interaction to its intrinsic [Formula: see text]N/[Formula: see text]N nuclear spin or to [Formula: see text]C nuclear spins presenting in the diamond lattice. More recently, other paramagnetic color centers in diamond have been identified exhibiting even better characteristics in comparison to the NV center. Essential prerequisite for a high-fidelity spin manipulation in these systems with tailored control pulse sequences is a complete knowledge of hyperfine interactions. Development of this understanding for one of the new color centers in diamond, viz., neutral “silicon-vacancy” (SiV0) color center, is a primary goal of this paper, in which we are presenting preliminary results of computer simulation of spatial and hyperfine characteristics of SiV0 center in H-terminated clusters C[Formula: see text][SiV0]H[Formula: see text] and C[Formula: see text][SiV0]H[Formula: see text].

Abstract:
AbstractWe designed a nanoscale light extractor (NLE) for the efficient outcoupling and beaming of broadband light emitted by shallow, negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in bulk diamond. The NLE consists of a patterned silicon layer on diamond and requires no etching of the diamond surface. Our design process is based on adjoint optimization using broadband time-domain simulations and yields structures that are inherently robust to positioning and fabrication errors. Our NLE functions like a transmission antenna for the NV center, enhancing the optical power extracted from an NV center positioned 10 nm below the diamond surface by a factor of more than 35, and beaming the light into a ±30° cone in the far field. This approach to light extraction can be readily adapted to other solid-state color centers.

Abstract:
Atomic defects in solids offer access to atom-like quantum properties without complex trapping methods while displaying a rich physics due to interactions with their solid-state environment. Such properties have made them an advantageous building block for quantum information processing, in particular to construct a quantum network, where information would be encoded in spins and transferred between nodes through photons. Among defects in solids, the negatively charged silicon-vacancy centre in diamond (SiV$^{−}$) has attracted attention for its very promising optical properties for such a network. In this thesis, we investigate the spin properties of the silicon-vacancy centre as a potential spin-photon interface. First, we use resonant excitation of an SiV$^{−}$ centre in an external magnetic field to selectively address different electronic states and analyse the resulting fluorescence. We find evidence of selection rules in the optical transitions revealing that the centre possesses an electronic spin S = 1/2. Making use of the dependence of such selection rules on the applied magnetic field orientation, we resonantly drive two optical transitions forming a $\Lambda$-scheme. In the double resonance condition, we achieve coherent population trapping, whereby the SiV$^{−}$ is pumped into a dark state corresponding to a superposition of the two addressed ground states of opposite spin. This technique allows us to evaluate the coherence time of the dark state and hence of the spin, while demonstrating the possibility of all-optical control of the spin when a $\Lambda$-scheme is available. We then use resonant optical pulses to initialise and read out the spin state of a single SiV$^{−}$. By tuning a microwave pulse into resonance between two ground states of opposite spin, we demonstrate optically detected magnetic resonance. Subsequently, by varying the duration of a resonant microwave pulse, we achieve coherent control of a single SiV$^{−}$ electronic spin. Through Ramsey interferometry, we measure a spin dephasing time of 115 $\pm$ 9 ns. We then investigate interactions of the SiV$^{−}$ with its environment. We analyse the hyperfine interaction of the SiV$^{−}$ spin with the nuclear spin of $^{29}$Si, with a view to taking advantage of the long-lived nuclear spin in the future. We show that single-phonon-mediated excitations between electronic states of the SiV$^{−}$ are the dominant spin dephasing and population decay mechanism and evaluate how external strain alters optical selection rules and can be used to improve the coherence time of the spin.

Abstract:
Les défauts ponctuels dans les matériaux à grande bande interdite font l’objet de nombreuses recherches, compte tenu des perspectives d’applications en technologie quantique. La réalisation de qubits et de capteurs quantiques a échelle nanomètres à l’aide du centre NV– a suscité la recherche de défauts ayant des propriétés magnéto-optiques similaires, mais dans un matériau technologiquement plus mûr tel que le carbure de silicium (SiC). Le SiC se présente sous différentes structures cristallographiques, notamment cubique (3C) et hexagonales (4H et 6H). Cette propriété permet d’obtenir une plus grande variété de défauts ponctuels profonds. Dans cette thèse, j'ai établi présence du défaut azote-lacune (NCVSi) de spin S=1 dans un échantillon de 4H-SiC irradié par des protons, en réalisant la spectroscopie d'excitation de la photoluminescence à la température cryogénique et en comparant les résultats à des calculs ab initio. J'ai également développé un dispositif qui m'a permis de détecter optiquement la résonance magnétique de spin S=1 (ODMR) de la bilacune (VCVSi) dans un échantillon de 3C-SiC et d'étudier son interaction hyperfine avec des spins nucléaires d’atome de carbone et de silicium voisins
Point-like defects in wide-bandgap materials are attracting intensive research attention owing to prospective applications in quantum technologies. Inspired by the achievements obtained with the NV– center in diamond for which qubit and nanoscale quantum sensors have been demonstrated, the search for high spin color centers with similar magneto-optical properties in a more technological mature material such as silicon carbide (SiC) had a renewed interest. Indeed, SiC exhibits polymorphism, existing for instance with cubic (3C polytype) or hexagonal (4H and 6H polytypes) crystalline structures. Such property provides a degree of freedom for engineering a rich assortment of intrinsic and extrinsic atomic-like deep defects. In this thesis using photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy at cryogenic temperature and a comparison to ab initio calculations I have evidence the presence of nitrogen-vacancy spin S=1 (NCVSi) defect in proton irradiated 4H-SiC. I have also developed a setup that allowed me to detect optically the S=1 spin magnetic resonance (ODMR) of the divacancy (VCVSi) in 3C-SiC, and study its hyperfine interaction with nearby carbon and silicon nuclear spins

Abstract:
A common theme in the implementation of quantum technologies involves addressing the seemingly contradictory needs for controllability and isolation from external effects. Undesirable effects of the environment must be minimized, while at the same time techniques and tools must be developed that enable interaction with the system in a controllable and well-defined manner. This chapter addresses several aspects of this theme with regard to a particularly promising candidate for developing applications in both metrology and quantum information, namely the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond. The chapter describes how the quantum states of NV centres can be manipulated, probed, and efficiently coupled with optical photons. It also discusses ways of tackling the challenges of controlling the optical properties of these emitters inside a complex solid state environment.

Abstract:
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is one type of special defects in diamonds. NV center not only can be used as sensors for temperature, stress detection, magnetic field, etc., but also has potential applications for quantum computing due to its unique physical properties. Therefore, the growth of diamond and creation of NV centers are significant for the future technologies. In this chapter, some methods for growing diamond thin film are introduced first, including traditional high-pressure-high-temperature (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. The second part will focus on the current commonly used approaches to create NV centers. Inter-growth and post-growth processes are mainly utilized for the creation of NV centers during and after the growth of thin film, respectively.

Abstract:
In modern-day quantum metrology, quantum sensors are widely employed to detect weak magnetic fields or nanoscale signals. Quantum devices, exploiting quantum coherence, are inevitably connected to physical constants and can achieve accuracy, repeatability, and precision approaching fundamental limits. As a result, these sensors have shown utility in a wide range of research domains spanning both science and technology. A rapidly emerging quantum sensing platform employs atomic-scale defects in crystals. In particular, magnetometry using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond has garnered increasing interest. NV systems possess a combination of remarkable properties, optical addressability, long coherence times, and biocompatibility. Sensors based on NV centers excel in spatial resolution and magnetic sensitivity. These diamond-based sensors promise comparable combination of high spatial resolution and magnetic sensitivity without cryogenic operation. The above properties of NV magnetometers promise increasingly integrated quantum measurement technology, as a result, they have been extensively developed with various protocols and find use in numerous applications spanning materials characterization, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), condensed matter physics, paleomagnetism, neuroscience and living systems biology, and industrial vector magnetometry. In this chapter, NV centers are explored for magnetic sensing in a number of contexts. In general, we introduce novel regimes for magnetic-field probes with NV ensembles. Specifically, NV centers are developed for sensitive magnetometers for applications where microwaves (MWs) are prohibitively invasive and operations need to be carried out under zero ambient magnetic field. The primary goal of our discussion is to improve the utility of these NV center-based magnetometers.
