Charge state dynamics and optically detected electron spin resonance contrast of shallow nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond can be used for nanoscale sensing with atomic resolution and sensitivity; however, it has been observed that their properties degrade as they approach the diamond surface. Here we report that in addition to degraded spin coherence, NV centers within nanometer...
