Fabrication of single color centers in sub-50 nm nanodiamonds using ion implantation.

ABSTRACT: Diamond color centers have been widely studied in the field of quantum optics. The negatively charged silicon vacancy (SiV^-) center exhibits a narrow emission linewidth at the wavelength of 738 nm, a high Debye-Waller factor, and unique spin properties, making it a promising emitter for quantum information technologies, biological imaging, and sensing. In particular, nanodiamond (ND)-based SiV^- centers can be heterogeneously integrated with plasmonic and photonic nanostructures and serve as in vivo biomarkers and intracellular thermometers. Out of all methods to produce NDs with SiV^- centers, ion implantation offers the unique potential to create controllable numbers of color centers in preselected individual NDs. However, the formation of single col
