Abstract
A diamond spin sensor includes a diamond substrate and an inclined surface formed on the diamond substrate. Color centers with electron spin are formed on the inclined surface. Among the color centers formed on the inclined surface, color centers with a color center axis perpendicular to the inclined are present in a proportion twice or more color centers with a color center axis not perpendicular to the inclined surface.
Claims9
A diamond spin sensor comprising:
- a diamond substrate;
- an inclined surface formed on the diamond substrate, wherein
- color centers with electron spin are formed on the inclined surface, and
- among the color centers formed on the inclined surface, color centers with a color center axis perpendicular to the inclined surface are present in a proportion twice or more color centers with a color center axis not perpendicular to the inclined surface.
A method of producing a diamond spin sensor, the method comprising:
- a preparation step of preparing a substrate of a single crystal diamond having a (001) crystal plane on a surface;
- a crystal plane forming step of forming a (111) crystal plane and a (−1-11) crystal plane on the surface of the substrate;
- and
- an NV forming step of forming NV centers on the (111) crystal plane and the (−1-11) crystal plane by CVD.
