Spin properties of very shallow nitrogen vacancy defects in diamond

We investigate spin and optical properties of individual nitrogen vacancy centers located within 1–10 nm from the diamond surface. We observe stable defects with a characteristic optically detected magnetic-resonance spectrum down to the lowest depth. We also find a small but systematic spectral bro...
