Description
NVCore™ Ensemble Diamond
Nitrogen-Rich Single-Crystal CVD Diamond with Ensemble NV Centers
NVCore™ Ensemble is a nitrogen-rich single-crystal CVD diamond platform designed for applications requiring a pre-existing ensemble population of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers.
With a typical nitrogen concentration of approximately 30 ppm and an NV-center density of approximately 0.5–1 ppb, NVCore™ Ensemble provides a high-nitrogen diamond environment with an intentionally present ensemble NV population. The material is designed as a ready-to-use platform for researchers working with ensemble NV fluorescence, spectroscopy, magnetic sensing, and related quantum applications.
Unlike NVCore™ Premium, NVCore™ Ensemble does not undergo the additional HPHT defect-engineering process used to enhance nitrogen-to-NV conversion. Instead, NVCore™ Ensemble emphasizes a higher nitrogen concentration with a naturally lower nitrogen-to-NV conversion efficiency, providing an accessible ensemble-NV platform for applications where high nitrogen content and pre-existing NV centers are desired.
NVCore™ Ensemble is supplied as polished (100)-oriented single-crystal CVD diamond, with a typical size of 2 × 2 × 0.5 mm. Custom sizes are available at additional cost; please contact us for custom dimensions and pricing.
NVCore™ Ensemble is particularly suited for ensemble NV spectroscopy, fluorescence measurements, magnetic-field sensing, ODMR studies, quantum sensing research, and experiments investigating nitrogen-rich diamond and NV-related defect physics.
Product selection guideline
Choose NVCore™ Ensemble for nitrogen-rich CVD diamond with pre-existing ensemble NV centers. Choose NVCore™ Premium when lower nitrogen content, higher nitrogen-to-NV conversion, and a more engineered and reproducible ensemble NV response are desired. Choose OptiCore™ for general optical and spectroscopy applications, and QuantumCore™ Ultra for ultra-pure diamond intended for electronics, custom defect engineering, and researchers who want to introduce and control their own NV centers or other defects.
