This two-year, $231,696 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.049) will support research exploring electric field sensing with nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond and chemical tuning of the diamond host material. Specifically, the principal investigator and research team at San Jose State University will investigate new routes for chemically activating the surface of nanoscale diamond particles to generate covalent bonds and examine the photophysics of nitrogen vacancy centers under an applied voltage. By tuning the surface dipole moment of diamond, the researchers will study nitrogen vacancy center voltage sensing using spectroelectrochemistry techniques. This work has the long-term goal of advancing quantum sensing capabilities and will provide rigorous research training for undergraduate and graduate students in various science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines.
