Novel Ultra Localized and Dense Nitrogen Delta-Doping in Diamond for Advanced Quantum Sensing.

We introduce and demonstrate a new approach for nitrogen-vacancy (NV) patterning in diamond, achieving a deterministic, nanometer-thin, and dense delta-doped layer of negatively charged NV centers in diamond. We employed a pure nitridation stage using microwave plasma and a subsequent diamond overgrowth. We present the highest reported nitrogen concentration in a delta-doped layer (1.

Doubly Resonant Nanoantennas on Diamond for Spatial Addressing of Spin States.

The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center in diamond is an important atom-like system for emergent quantum technologies and sensing at room temperature. The light emission rates and collection efficiency are key issues toward realizing NV-based quantum devices. In that aspect, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a selective and spatially localized method for enhancing the light-matter interaction of shallow NV centers in bulk diamonds.
