“…Type-I diamond can be divided into Type-Ia (with aggregated nitrogen) and Type-Ib (with isolated nitrogen). Type-II diamond can be divided into Type-IIa (very pure high quality) and Type-IIb (containing boron impurities) [7,9,10]. As presented in Figure 1, natural diamonds often show colors that correlate to their diamond types resulting from the listed characteristics, and now it also has been transferred to treated natural or treated synthetics stones.…”

the burgeoning multi-field applications of diamond concurrently bring up a foremost consideration associated with nitrogen. Ubiquitous nitrogen in both natural and artificial diamond in most cases as disruptive impurity is undesirable for diamond material properties, eg deterioration in electrical performance. however, the feat of this most common elementnitrogen, can change diamond growth evolution, endow diamond fancy colors and even give quantum technology a solid boost. this perspective reviews the understanding and progress of nitrogen in diamond including natural occurring gemstones and their synthetic counterparts formed by high temperature high pressure (hPht) and chemical vapor deposition (cVD) methods. the review paper covers a variety of topics ranging from the basis of physical state of nitrogen and its related defects as well as the resulting effects in diamond (including nitrogen termination on diamond surface), to precise control of nitrogen incorporation associated with selective post-treatments and finally to the practical utilization. among the multitudinous potential nitrogen related centers, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defects in diamond have attracted particular interest and are still ceaselessly drawing extensive attentions for quantum frontiers advance.

“…This is an unavoidable consequence of working with a nitrogen-containing environment or of impurities in the gaseous reactants. Delightedly, the nitrogen content in synthetic diamond crystals is becoming to be maturely suppressed below 5 parts per billion (ppb) not only for CVD but also for HPHT method [9].…”

“…Fluorescent or luminescent diamonds, an alluring class of materials, have garnered considerable attention due to their remarkable optical properties and potential applications in diverse fields such as quantum technology, bioimaging, and sensing. − Development of lab-grown diamond (LGD) films with the ability to fluoresce upon optical and/or electrical excitations is of immense significance to both the scientific and industrial communities. The conventional way of introducing luminescent centers into diamonds involves incorporation of specific atomic defects within the diamond lattice.…”

Lab-grown diamond films, vital for advanced electronics and biomedical applications, pose production challenges. This study investigates a simplified method to create fluorescent diamond films and assesses their potential as temperature sensors. Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) films functionalized with NaYF 4 :Er,Yb upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been developed, and their temperature sensitivity of luminescence has been evaluated. UCNPs functionalized on surface-treated PCD films (UCNPs−TPCD) exhibit superior temperature sensitivity (S r = 1.08% at 300 K −1 ) compared with the as-prepared UCNPs and UCNPs coated on the as-grown PCD films (UCNPs−PCD). Surface oxidation of PCD films facilitates uniform UCNP distribution, verified through upconversion luminescence, XPS, IR, and Raman spectroscopy alongside SEM and AFM. An increase in the temperature of the diamond lattice due to 980 nm laser irradiation leads to an increase in the population of the 2 H 11/2 level of Er 3+ and the associated increase in the fluorescence intensity ratio and improved temperature sensitivity of UCNPs functionalized on the treated diamond surface. Hysteresis in luminescence is observed for the first time in PCD films functionalized with UCNPs, attributed to an increased temperature from the absorption of 980 nm light by diamond films.

Monitoring neuronal activity with simultaneously high spatial and temporal resolution in living cell cultures is crucial to advance understanding of the development and functioning of our brain, and to gain further insights in the origin of brain disorders. While it has been demonstrated that the quantum sensing capabilities of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond allow real time detection of action potentials from large neurons in marine invertebrates, quantum monitoring of mammalian neurons (presenting much smaller dimensions and thus producing much lower signal and requiring higher spatial resolution) has hitherto remained elusive. In this context, diamond nanostructuring can offer the opportunity to boost the diamond platform sensitivity to the required level. However, a comprehensive analysis of the impact of a nanostructured diamond surface on the neuronal viability and growth was lacking. Here, we pattern a single crystal diamond surface with large-scale nanopillar arrays and we successfully demonstrate growth of a network of living and functional primary mouse hippocampal neurons on it. Our study on geometrical parameters reveals preferential growth along the nanopillar grid axes with excellent physical contact between cell membrane and nanopillar apex. Our results suggest that neuron growth can be tailored on diamond nanopillars to realize a nanophotonic quantum sensing platform for wide-field and label-free neuronal activity recording with sub-cellular resolution.
