Sentences with phrase «called nitrogen vacancy»

By extending the coherence time of electron states to over half a second, a team of scientists from Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley, and Harvard University has vastly improved the performance of one of the most potent possible sensors of magnetic fields on the nanoscale — a diamond defect no bigger than a pair of atoms, called a nitrogen vacancy (NV) center.

The detection of magnetic fields is carried out with the help of a so called nitrogen vacancy center (NV), located approximately 10 nanometers below the surface of the diamond tip.

As they report this week in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing, researchers in Japan have reproducibly formed an aligned ensemble of quantum sensors called nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers, just nanometers from its substrate's surface.

In the diamond lattice inside each nanoparticle, several individual spins are trapped inside of defects called nitrogen vacancies.

Not exact matches

Their focus over the past two years has been on diamond crystals and an impurity called a nitrogen - vacancy (NV) center, in which optical and spin degrees of freedom are coupled.

They then heated the crystal to force the holes, called vacancies, to move around and pair with nitrogen atoms, resulting in diamonds with so - called nitrogen - vacancy centers.
