AbstractSilicon-vacancy (SiV) centers in diamond are emerging as promising quantum emitters in applications such as quantum communication and quantum information processing. Here, we demonstrate a sub-μs pulsed annealing treatment that dramatically increases the photoluminescence of SiV centers in diamond.

No en todos los planetas llueve agua como ocurre en la Tierra, de hecho, este es el único donde esto sucede debido a que tiene agua líquida en la superficie. Ya existían registros de que en ciertos planetas llueven piedras preciosas. Tal es el caso de Neptuno y Urano, donde hay una alta cantidad de metano que a su vez contiene carbono. Cuando esta sustancia es aplastada por las grandes presiones de sus atmósferas, se forman diamantes que acaban cayendo en forma de precipitación.

Raman spectra from molecular systems are typically regarded as comprising a set of sharp peaks. These arise from both single-molecule modes and extended Γ point phonons being, in theory, harmonic oscillators. Broadening is typically assigned to thermal, linewidth, and anharmonic effects. Here we measure significant broadening in the Raman signal from partially deuterated water ices VII and VIII, which is absent in the pure systems.
