Spin-active defects in SiC and diamond devices

这是一个物理学博士研究项目，目的是检测和控制电子器件中嵌入的自旋活性缺陷相关的电子自旋。我们将集中研究碳化硅中的硅空位和双空位以及金刚石中的硅空位，有两个目标：（i）电控制缺陷的电荷状态，用于量子信息应用;（ii）利用缺陷的自旋作为定域量子传感器，测量器件的感兴趣参数。项目的第一阶段将致力于建造一个定制的共聚焦显微镜，用于光学检测磁共振，装备成通过射频脉冲控制可编程的自旋。

This is a PhD research project in Physics.The aim of the project is to detect and control electronic spins associated with spin-active defects embedded in electronic devices. We will focus on Si vacancies and divacancies in SiC and on Si vacancies in diamond, with two goals: (i) electrically control the charging states of the defects, for quantum information applications; (ii) use the defects' spins as localized quantum sensor to measure parameters of interest for the devices.The first phase of the project will address the construction of a custom confocal microscope for optically-detected magnetic resonance, equipped to control spins programmable by radio-frequency pulses.
