Mapping optical, chemical, structural features in ZrO2 via cross-sectional SEM-Cathodoluminescence correlation microscopy
Ricardo Vidrio, Yuhan Tong, Junliang Liu +11
Understanding how nanoscale heterogeneities influence charge transport and mass transfer in oxides is critical for developing advanced materials for energy and electronic uses. In…
Tuning the surface energy of fluorinated diamond-like carbon coatings via plasma immersion ion implantation plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane
Yuhan Tong, Maryam Zahedian, Aiping Zeng +6
We demonstrate an environmentally friendly and scalable method to create fluorine-doped diamond-like carbon (F-DLC) coatings using plasma immersion ion implantation plasma-enhanced…
Broadband light extraction from near-surface NV centers using crystalline-silicon antennas
Minjeong Kim, Maryam Zahedian, Wenxin Wu +9
We use crystalline silicon (Si) antennas to efficiently extract broadband single-photon fluorescence from shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond into free space. Our desi…
Sub-nanometer-thick native sp2 carbon on oxidized diamond surfaces
Ricardo Vidrio, Cesar Saucedo, Vincenzo Lordi +4
Oxygen-terminated diamond has a wide breadth of applications, which include stabilizing near-surface color centers, semiconductor devices, and biological sensors. Despite the vast…
XPS analysis of molecular contamination and sp2 amorphous carbon on oxidized (100) diamond
Ricardo Vidrio, Daniel Vincent, Benjamin Bachman +11
The efficacy of oxygen (O) surface terminations on diamond is an important factor for the performance and stability for diamond-based quantum sensors and electronics. Given the wid…
