Hollenberg Lloyd and Mulvaney, Paul and A., Simpson David and 大島 武}, journal = {ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces}, month = {Mar}, note = {Quantum probes with nanoscale such as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamonds have realized tremendous sensing capabilities over the past decade The biocompatibility and rich surface chemistry of diamonds has added to the utility of these probes, however, as the size of these nanoscale systems is reduced, the surface chemistry of diamond begins to impact the quantum properties of the NV center. In this study, we studied the effect of the diamond surface chemistry on the quantum coherence of the NV center in nanodiamonds (NDs) with 50 nm in size. It was shown that a borane-reduced diamond surface can on average double the spin relaxation time of individual NV centers in nanodiamonds when compared to thermally oxidized surfaces.}, pages = {13143--13149}, title = {Impact of Surface Functionalization on the Quantum Coherence of Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Nanodiamonds}, volume = {10}, year = {2018} }
