摘要

Abstract

Strain engineering

a pivotal method for tuning material properties

shows great promise in extending the application scope of wide-band-gap semiconductors such as diamond. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers

an important defect system in diamond

are generally present in either a neutral (NV

) or a negative charge state (NV

−

). The spin-triplet nature of the NV

−

state makes it a powerful platform for quantum sensing. However

the reliability of NV-center-based quantum sensing is subjected to the charge state transition between NV

and NV

−

states

and it is of fundamental importance to provide precise control of the charge state of NV centers and to enhance the stability of the NV

−

state. Here

we systematically investigated the influence of uniaxial strain applied in the [100

]

[110

]

and [111

]

crystallographic directions on the electronic structure and charge state

stability of NV color centers through first-principles calculations. We found that uniaxial strain can exert a significant impact on the stability of the NV

and NV

−

centers

and the impact is highly dependent on the crystallographic orientation. In particular

the application of tensile strain along the [100

]

and [110

]

directions can result in a remarkable enhancement of the stability of the desired NV

−

state. Based on thorough analyses of the band structure and density of states (DOS)

we elucidated the underlying electronic mechanism by which strain modulates the properties of NV centers.
