Abstract

Luminescence properties of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) and silicon-vacancy (SiV) centers were investigated for the series of O-terminated composite nanodiamonds consisting of a high-pressure–high-temperature (HPHT) diamond core and a chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) diamond outer layer of different thickness. It was found that emission of NV and SiV centers cease to “feel” the diamond surface at a distance of 12 and 4 nm, respectively, from it. This finding determines minimum sizes of O-terminated nanodiamonds in which stable single photon emitters could be formed based on NV and SiV centers. Suggested composite diamond nanostructure are optimal for design of two-color luminescent markers. The studied diamond nanoparticles present composite structure of “core-outer layer” type. The core is 20 nm HPHT diamond containing NV centers, whereas outer diamond layer containing SiV centers is formed by CVD synthesis.
