NV−–N+ pair centre in 1b diamond

With the creation of nitrogen (NV) in 1b diamond it is common to find that the absorption and emission is predominantly of negatively charged NV centres. This occurs because electrons tunnel from the substitutional nitrogen atoms to NV to form NV ^− –N ^+ pairs. There can be a small percentage of ne...
