  • The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a point defect in diamond formed by a lattice vacancy paired with a nitrogen atom, which replaces the carbon atom adjacent to the vacancy.[1]

  • In this Letter, we report that the statistics of the decay rates of NV centers can be efficiently controlled by changing the immediate dielectric environment of NDs

  • As studied in our experiments, namely (i) an ND sitting on an SbTe film and (ii) an ND embedded in an SbTe film

Summary

Introduction

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a point defect in diamond formed by a lattice vacancy paired with a nitrogen atom, which replaces the carbon atom adjacent to the vacancy.[1]. The average brightness of NV0 centers appears to decrease, by about five times, for NDs embedded in the SbTe film, following the decrease of their average lifetime as revealed by figure 2(b).
