Creation and Modification of Colour Centres in Diamond using Laser Processing

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
