Abstract

As an important field of future development, quantum information technology has been concerned by many scholars. The unique optical properties of diamond IVA vacancy color center have become a powerful candidate for quantum information processing. In this paper, the vacancy color center of diamond IVA group is taken as the research object, and the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition equipment are used to prepare the vacancy color center of diamond IVA group by solid substitution method and substrate method. The surface properties and the luminous properties of the color center are analyzed by atomic force microscope, Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy. The first principle calculation method is used to analyze and study the electronic structure, and the D3d symmetric stable structure with double vacancy centers is determined. The transition energies of the energy levels of the diamond IVA group vacancy color centers are calculated to be about 1.676 eV (SiV), 2.050 eV (GeV), 1.999 eV (SnV) and 2.248 eV (PbV). Through the combination of experimental preparation and first principle calculation, the luminescence mechanism of the vacancy color center of diamond IVA group was revealed, which laid an experimental and theoretical foundation for the vacancy color center of diamond IVA group to become a single-photon source.
