Silicon-vacancy color centers in diamond microcrystals were produced by means of a novel proceeding: chemical vapor deposition using a solution of tetramethoxysilane in ethanol as precursor. The use of these precursors ...

During the last decade color centers in large band gap materials have received great attention due to the large degree of control that is possible to achieve of their internal degrees of freedom. They are leading candidates ...

Control over the charge states of color centers in solids is necessary to fully utilize them in quantum technologies. However, the microscopic charge dynamics of deep defects in wide-band-gap semiconductors are complex, ...

The unavoidable presence of vibrations in solid-state devices can drastically modify the expected electron spin resonance (ESR) absorption spectrum in magnetically active systems. In this work, we model the effect of phonons ...

In this doctoral thesis, synthesis, characterization, and application of zinc oxide nanoparticles doped with transition metals (M), such as cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and nickel (Ni), were ...
