论文摘要
钻石中的氮气散发(NV)中心的集合是实用量子传感器的领先平台。具有所需特性的NV浓度可再现和可扩展的制造至关重要。这项工作通过开发化学蒸气沉积(CVD)合成过程来解决这些挑战,以便在靶NV密度方面以改进的NV汇编特性生产钻石材料。这项工作中报告的材料可以立即对当前设备进行敏感性改善。此外,这项工作中为材料和传感器表征在CVD合成过程的不同阶段建立的技术为针对其他NV密度或样品几何形状的未来努力提供了指标。
Ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are a leading platform for practical quantum sensors. Reproducible and scalable fabrication of NV-ensembles with desired properties is crucial. This work addresses these challenges by developing a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis process to produce diamond material at scale with improved NV-ensemble properties for a target NV density. The material reported in this work enables immediate sensitivity improvements for current devices. In addition, techniques established in this work for material and sensor characterization at different stages of the CVD synthesis process provide metrics for future efforts targeting other NV densities or sample geometries.
