Abstract

Section titled “Abstract”

We demonstrate fully three-dimensional and patterned localization of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond with coherence times in excess of 1 ms. Nitrogen δ-doping during chemical vapor deposition diamond growth vertically confines nitrogen to 4 nm while electron irradiation with a transmission electron microscope laterally confines vacancies to less than 450 nm. We characterize the effects of electron energy and dose on NV formation. Importantly, our technique enables the formation of reliably high-quality NV centers inside diamond nanostructures with applications in quantum information and sensing.
