  2. Herstellung von Diamant-Nanokristallen und Hybrid-Integrierten- Einzelphotonenquellen

    master thesis co-supervised by Christoph Becher
    Conducted by Andreas Fuchs
    Status: completed

    Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, vorbereitend Techniken für die Herstellung einer Hybrid-Integrierten-Einzelphotonenquelle zu entwickeln. Dazu gehört die Herstellung von Nanodiamanten (Diamanten in der Größenordnung einiger 100 nm) mit einzelnen SiV-Zentren und Methoden zum Identifizieren und Transferieren solcher Nanodiamanten.

  6. Narrowband, room-temperature single photon emitters based on silicon-vacancy centers in diamond nanocrystals produced by a wet-milling process

    in Nanodiamonds, Silicon Vacancy Centers and Wet-Milling

    We report a technique to produce SiV centers in nanodiamonds exploiting a wet-milling process to produce nanodiamonds containing single SiV centers. The observed zero-phonon-lines include linewidths as narrow as 0.95 nm. The center wavelengths of the zero-phonon-lines vary among SiV centers in distinct nanodiamonds, resulting in an overall distribution accumulating at approximately 740 nm.
