Low-field dephasing time of an optically polarized NV spin bath beyond the P1 limit in diamond: a cluster-correlation-expansion and exact spin-bath study

Chikara Shinei

Dense ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in nitrogen-rich diamond dephase on the electron spins of the substitutional nitrogen (P1) centres. If the paramagnetic nitroge…

Theoretical study of nitrogen-vacancy spin coherence enhanced by vacancy aggregation in diamond using cluster-correlation expansion

Chikara Shinei

Annealing a semiconductor makes its vacancies mobile; they aggregate into multi-vacancy complexes that often carry spin. Such centres are a magnetic-noise source for any spin qubit…
