 note = {In this study, using ultra-short pulsed laser ablation, 40–50 nm diameter silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles were fabricated from electron irradiated bulk 4H-SiC, which had fluorescent at 850–950 nm. This photoluminescence is attributed to the silicon vacancy color centers. We demonstrate that the original silicon vacancy color centers from the target sample were retained in the final nanoparticles solution, exhibiting excellent colloidal stability in water over several
months. This study is relevant for quantum nanophotonics, magnetic sensing, and biomedical imaging applications.},
