Understanding and optimising the creation of NV centres in diamond is vital for technological progress in these areas. In this study, it is demonstrated that electron irradiation at elevated temperature into a high-pressure high-temperature diamond sample increases the NV centre creation efficiency with respect to a sample where the irradiation and annealing processes are carried out consecutively. The results obtained in this study pave the way for a more efficient creation of NV centres in diamond as well as higher overall NV densities in the future.}, pages = {714--719}, title = {Increased nitrogen-vacancy centre creation yield in diamond through electron beam irradiation at high temperature}, volume = {143}, year = {2019} }
