Creation of Color Centers in Diamond by Focused Ion Implantation — •Johannes Lang, Philipp Vetter, Boris Naydenov, and Fedor Jelezko — Institute for Quantum Optics, University Ulm, Germany

The color centers in diamond formed by a substitutional nitrogen or silicon and an adjacent vacancy (NV or SiV center) are amongst the most studied defects in diamond. They are promising candidates for different applications such as e.g. qubit spin registers in future quantum computation [1], or for different sensing applications [2] as well as quantum communication. The on demand creation of these color centers is required for the applications mentioned above [3].

Here, we present a home built, low energy, UHV ion implantation setup and show the creation of single, shallow (< 10 nm) color centers with well controllable properties regarding their implantation depth, density and position.
