Percolation lithography: Tuning and freezing disorder in 3D photonic crystals using partial wetting and drying

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Anna V. Shneidman | First 5 Authors: Ian B. Burgess, Navid Abedzadeh, Theresa M. Kay, Anna V. Shneidman, Derek J. Cranshaw | Summary: Although complex, hierarchical nanoscale geometries with tailored degrees of disorder are commonly found in biological systems, few simple self-assembly routes to fabricating synthetic analogues have been identified. We present two […]

Optimizing a Dynamical Decoupling Protocol for Solid-State Electronic Spin Ensembles in Diamond

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Viatcheslav V. Dobrovitski | First 5 Authors: Demitry Farfurnik, Andrey Jarmola, Linh M. Pham, Zhi-Hui Wang, Viatcheslav V. Dobrovitski | Summary: We demonstrate significant improvements of the spin coherence time of a dense ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond through optimized dynamical decoupling (DD). Cooling the sample down to $77$ K suppresses […]
