Sentences with phrase «using nitrogen vacancy»

Not exact matches

Diamonds designed with nitrogen - vacancy (NV) centers that can detect changes in magnetic fields are a powerful tool for biosensing technologies and used in the medical detection and diagnosis of disease.

By using light, researchers at UC Santa Barbara have manipulated the quantum state of a single atomic - sized defect in diamond — the nitrogen - vacancy center — in a method that not only allows for more unified control than conventional processes, but is more versatile, and opens up the possibility of exploring new solid - state quantum systems.

Technology visionaries are thinking about using nitrogen - vacancy centers to probe for cracks in metals, such as bridge structures or jet engine blades, for homeland security applications, as sensitive rotation sensors, and perhaps even as building blocks for quantum computers.

Researchers have successfully manipulated such nitrogen — vacancy centers — a step towards using them to perform quantum calculations.

Figure 1) Schematic picture of unpolarized single - photon generation using a compound defect, a nitrogen vacancy center (NV center), in a diamond.

When a nitrogen atom replaces a carbon in the crystal structure of diamond, it creates a nitrogen - vacancy center, which can store information that is written and read out using light.

Here we demonstrate a new approach to nanoscale thermometry that uses coherent manipulation of the electronic spin associated with nitrogen — vacancy colour centres in diamond.

One of the directions for the Center's research will involve nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond, which can store information written and read out using light, as shown in this research illustration courtesy of Marko Loncar, Harvard SEAS.
