The negatively-charged nitrogen-vacancy center (NV-) is a defect in diamonds for quantum applications. The coherent properties of NVs and the functional groups on the surface of diamonds critically affect the applicability for quantum sensing. In this research, we attempt different preparation process to create ensembles of shallow (less than 50-nm depth) NV centers, namely ion implantation and delta doping in CVD growth. T2 relaxation time differ from one to hundreds of microseconds with different preparing strategies. We also study properties of NVs with different functional groups on the surface of diamonds. We attempt to find the optimal condition to create ensembles for NV-NMR measurements.
