Abstract summary: We investigate the possibilities to realize light extraction from single crystal diamond (SCD) nanopillars. This was achieved by dedicated 519 nm laser-induced spin-state initiation of negatively charged nitrogen vacancies (NV-) We have observed a remarkable effect based on the selective 0V SF6 plasma etching and surprisingly, in contrast to literature findings, deactivation of NV(-) centers.

Abstract: We investigate the possibilities to realize light extraction from single crystal diamond (SCD) nanopillars. This was achieved by dedicated 519 nm laser-induced spin-state initiation of negatively charged nitrogen vacancies (NV-). For the first time, we present possibility to perform effective spin-readout of NV(-)s that were naturally generated by the growth process during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis within SCD without any post-growth implantation strategies. Applied diamond was neither implanted with 14N+, nor was the CVD synthesized SCD annealed, making the presence of nitrogen vacancy a remarkable phenomenon. To investigate the possibility to realize light extraction by the utilization of NV(-) bright photoluminescence at room temperature and ambient conditions with the waveguiding effect, we have performed a top-down nanofabrication of SCD by electron beam lithography (EBL) and dry inductively-coupled plasma/ reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) to generate light focusing nanopillars. In addition, we have fluorinated the diamond's surface by dedicated 0V ICP plasma. Light extraction and spin manipulations were performed with photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) at room temperature. We have observed a remarkable effect based on the selective 0V SF6 plasma etching and surprisingly, in contrast to literature findings, deactivation of NV(-) centers. We discuss the possible deactivation mechanism in detail regarding 2-dimensional hole gas (2HG) and Fermi band bending.

Quantum Emitters in Aluminum Nitride Induced by Zirconium Ion Implantation [70.64959705888512]
This study investigates aluminum nitride (AlN) as a material with properties highly suitable for integrated on-chip photonics. We conduct a comprehensive study of the creation and photophysical properties of single-photon emitters in AlN utilizing Zirconium (Zr) and Krypton (Kr) heavy ion implantation. With the 532 nm excitation wavelength, we found that single-photon emitters induced by ion implantation are primarily associated with vacancy-type defects in the AlN lattice for both Zr and Kr ions.

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is one of the most interesting to be used as a platform for quantum technologies and nanosensing. Traditionally, synthetic diamond is irradiated with high-energy electrons or nitrogen ions to generate these color-centers. For precise positioning of the NV centers, fs-laser irradiation has been proposed as an alternative approach to produce spatially localized NV centers in diamond.
