Abstract
Section titled âAbstractâWe report the results of high-energy (1.8 MeV) proton implantation in a type-Ib diamond.The focused ion beam was used to introduce vacancies in a 20 ”m-deep layer with applied doses in the range of 10 13 to 10 16 ions/cm 2 .The sample was subsequently annealed in vacuum which resulted in migration of vacancies and their association with the nitrogen present in the diamond matrix.We studied properties of the formed nitrogen-vacancy centers with photoluminescence and optically detected magnetic resonance.The samples are aimed to be used in sensing applications, e.g., magnetometry and bio-magnetic imaging.
