Level-crossing spectroscopy of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond: sensitive detection of paramagnetic defect centers

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We report a magnetic field dependence of fluorescence of diamond single crystals containing NV−^- centers. In such spectra, numerous sharp lines are found, which correspond to Level Anti-Crossings (LACs) in coupled spins systems comprising an NV−^- center. Theoretical modeling of such "LAC-spectra" enables characterization of paramagnetic defect centers and determination of their magnetic resonance parameters, such as zero-field splitting and hyperfine coupling constants. The outlined method thus enables sensitive detection of paramagnetic impurities in diamond crystals.
