Creation and Modification of Colour Centres in Diamond using Laser Processing

使用飞秒脉冲激光在单晶金刚石中控制产生空位和空位相关的色心，为材料工程和研究其特性提供了大量机会。该项目的主要目的是探索合成钻石中各种色心的产生，并在微观层面上了解这一过程。该项目由De Beers Technologies赞助，De Beers Technologies对钻石的基础科学和应用感兴趣。EPSRC研究领域主题：量子技术，制造未来，物理科学和ICT。

The controlled generation of vacancies and vacancy-related colour centres in single crystal diamond using femtosecond pulsed lasers opens a wealth of opportunities for both engineering the material and studying its properties. The main aims of this project will be to explore the creation of a variety of colour centres in synthetic diamond and to develop an understanding of the process at a microscopic level. The project is sponsored by De Beers Technologies who are interested in the basic science and applications of diamond.EPSRC research area themes: Quantum Technologies, Manufacturing the Future, Physical Sciences and ICT.
