Recently, there has been much interest in using Group IV elements from the periodic table to fabricate and study X V color centers in diamond, where X = Si, Ge, Sn, or Pb and V is a carbon vacancy. These Group IV color centers have a number of interesting spin and optical properties, which could potentially make them better candidates than N V − centers for important applications in quantum computing and quantum information processing. Unfortunately, the very same ion implantation process that is required to create these X V color centers in diamond necessarily also produces many carbon vacancies ( V C), which can form complexes with these color centers ( V C −X V) that can dramatically affect the properties of the isolated X V color centers. The main focus of this work is to use density-functional theory to study the thermodynamics and kinetics of the formation of these V C −X V complexes and to suggest experimental ways to impede this process such as varying the Fermi level of the host diamond material through chemical doping or applying an external electrical bias. We also include a discussion of how the simple presence of many V C can negatively impact the spin coherence times ( T 2) of Group IV color centers through the presence of acoustic phonons.Recently, there has been much interest in using Group IV elements from the periodic table to fabricate and study X V color centers in diamond, where X = Si, Ge, Sn, or Pb and V is a carbon vacancy.
