• Abstract: The temperature dependence of the zero-field splitting (ZFS) between the $|m_{s}=0\rangle$ and $|m_{s}=\pm 1\rangle$ levels of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center's electronic ground-state spin triplet can be used as a robust nanoscale thermometer in a broad range of environments. However, despite numerous measurements of this dependence in different temperature ranges, to our knowledge no analytical expression has been put forward that captures the scaling of the ZFS of the NV center across all relevant temperatures. Here we present a simple, analytical, and physically motivated expression for the temperature dependence of the NV center's ZFS that matches all experimental observations, in which the ZFS shifts in proportion to the occupation numbers of two representative phonon modes. In contrast to prior models our expression does not diverge outside the regions of fitting. We show that our model quantitatively matches experimental measurements of the ZFS from 15 to 500 K in single NV centers in ultra-pure bulk diamond, and we compare our model and measurements to prior models and experimental data.

  Long Horizon Temperature Scaling (LHTS) is a novel approach for sampling from temperature-scaled joint distributions. We derive a temperature-dependent LHTS objective, and show that finetuning a model on a range of temperatures produces a single model capable of generation with a controllable long horizon temperature parameter.

The theoretical model for selection principle of resonance peaks corresponding to a single NV axis for determining the temperature dependence is clarified. Repeatability and accuracy of the relationship calibration between the zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameter D and temperature T in the range of 298 K to 323 K is significantly improved.

We report Helmholtz free energy estimates for cubic and hexagonal ice modelled as monatomic water as well as for a truncated and shifted Lennard-Jones system. Our results thus demonstrate that normalizing flows can provide high-quality samples and free energy estimates of solids, without the need for multi-staging or for imposing restrictions on the crystal geometry.
