The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond is a promising candidate for quantum information processing or sensing purposes. In most applications reliable control of the charge state of the NV is of utmost importance.
In this work we demonstrate that the charge state of NV centers can be controlled using an in-plane gated diamond nanostructure based on selective surface termination. Applying a gate voltage changes the band bending at the hydrogen terminated diamond surface such that reversible charge state switching is enabled. We observed full control of NVs from a non-fluorescent state, potentially NV+, across NV0 to NV−
