Engineering Electronic and Optical Properties of Color Centers in Diamond

Abstract

We report on the results achieved during the period of the proposal as well as the current progress that will lead to results outside this period. The work of the proposal has concentrated on controlling the electronic, optical and spintronics properties of color centers in diamond and their environment. A high level of control of the before mentioned properties is crucial to develop novel applications such as single photon sources on demand, high precision and high resolution magnetic and electric sensors and opto-electronic devices at very low power consumption. All these applications require a deep understanding of the nanoscopic system and its interaction with the environment. We report on experimental/theoretical results on controlling the spin degree of freedom of the color center nitrogen-vacancy in diamond and its nearby nuclear spin bath. We also report on current developments to study new color centers in diamond.
