Ab initio study of defect interactions between the negatively charged nitrogen vacancy centre and the carbon self-interstitial in diamond

Fabrication techniques for nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond require the creation of Frenkel defects (vacancy-interstitial pairs) the components of which can interact with formed NV centres affecting their photophysical properties. Here we use Density Functional Theory simulations of inter-defect...
