A robust single-photon source operating upon electrical injection at ambient condition is desirable for quantum technologies. Silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers in diamond are promising candidates as their emission is concentrated in a narrow zero-phonon line with a short excited-state lifetime of ~1 ns [1]. Creating the color centers in n-type diamond (phosphorus-doped) allows the implementation of a Schottky-diode configuration. This provides a simpler approach than the traditional complex diamond semiconductor junctions (e.g., p-i-n). We optically characterize SiV color centers in different phosphorus-doped diamond and show that the background due to doping, nitrogen impurities, and defects induced by Si-ion implantation can be significantly suppressed for single-photon emission [2]. This paves a way for the realization of the predicted bright electroluminescence of SiV color centers [3]. References: [1]. Lagomarsino et al, Diam. Relat. Mater. 84, 196 (2018). [2].
