Mochalin publishes research on quantum emitters in nitrogen-doped diamond
Posted by Kimber Crull
Dr. Vadym Mochalin, professor of chemistry, co-authored a research article with collaborators from Australia and Germany in ACS Nano. The article, titled “The Nitrogen-Vacancy-Nitrogen Color Center: A Ubiquitous Visible and Near-Infrared-II Quantum Emitter in Nitrogen-Doped Diamond,” reports widespread presence of the nitrogen-vacancy-nitrogen (NVN) color center in both bulk diamond and nanodiamonds.
The study demonstrates that small, non-toxic nanodiamonds the contain NVN quantum emitters can operate across the visible and NIR-II (near-infrared) spectrum. The findings suggest potential applications for in vivo tissue bioimaging through the skin, using the NIR-II biological window.
