Implication

Spectroscopic study demonstrates room-temperature magnetic resonance on single nitrogen-vacancy defect centers in diamond, indicating strain-induced symmetry variations across individual sites.

Key Points

To optically observe single nitrogen-vacancy defect centers in diamond at room temperature and determine the feasibility of single-center magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Utilized room-temperature scanning confocal optical microscopy to image individual nitrogen-vacancy centers and monitor their fluorescence emission spectra over time.
Performed magnetic resonance spectroscopy on isolated individual defect centers under ambient room-temperature conditions.
Individual centers demonstrated complete photostability, exhibiting no detectable changes in fluorescence emission spectra as a function of time.
Room-temperature magnetic resonance on single centers was successfully achieved, revealing marked center-to-center variations in zero-field splitting parameters that were attributed to local strain-induced changes in symmetry.
