Summary: Designing stable quantum computers requires understanding the physical processes of ultrathin germanium layers, including atomic structure, electron density, and magnetic and quantum states. The study found that, even without holes, the total spin of the germanium layers follows the quantum state |1> in the negative pressure range. Hole states are predominantly localized in the volume structure of the layers, where magnetic states show a repetition period of 2a along the elongation axis of the slab.

Summary: In this study, Ge-doped polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and single-crystal diamond (SCD) materials were synthesized using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD). The structure and luminescence characteristics of these materials were analyzed. The absorption of Ge-V centers in both PCD and SCD materials at low temperatures was demonstrated for the first time. The narrowing of the Ge-V photoluminescence line for the SCD sample compared to the PCD sample was observed, while the intensity of the Ge-V signal was higher in the PCD sample. Single Ge-V centers formed during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were also demonstrated. These results provide a foundation for the manufacture and design of various photonic devices based on Ge-V color centers.

Summary: Bottom-up approaches are promising for generating single-crystal diamond structures with color centers. By controlling growth conditions, single-crystal structures can be grown from polycrystalline substrates, and introducing germanium impurities leads to enhanced emission in pyramid shaped diamonds. The method is a significant step towards integrated diamond photonics with 3D structures.

Summary: In general, the temperature dependence of excitonic emission in a semiconductor corresponds to its band gap. However, diamond exhibits an anomalous behavior where the indirect exciton luminescence peak undergoes a blue shift while the indirect band-gap absorption shows a weak red shift as the temperature increases. This can be explained by the large Debye temperature of diamond, which results in a relatively small change in its lattice constant and band gap, and the thermal population of valence-band holes contributing to the blue shift of its excitonic emission.

Summary: We studied hydrogen-vacancy interactions in high purity aluminum using positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) and ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our experimental results show the formation of complexes between vacancies and hydrogen atoms (V-H pairs) in aluminum samples annealed in a mixture of H2 and Ar gas. Hydrogen absorption immobilizes vacancies, delaying their recovery until around 280 K. On the other hand, monovacancies in Al samples without hydrogen become mobile around 220 K. The formation energy of monovacancies in Al is determined to be 0.62 +/- 0.01 eV, in good agreement with our DFT calculations of 0.63 eV.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of Na on Ni-promoted MoS2 during the HDS of dibenzothiophene (DBT), revealing that Na reduces the HDS activity by replacing Ni sites and making the hydrogen dissociation step more endothermic. An increase in Na concentration decreases the HDS of DBT but has a nonmonotonic effect on the selectivity of different mechanistic pathways. Incorporation of Na in Ni-promoted MoS2 enhances the selectivity towards a cost-effective direct desulfurization (DDS) pathway, although the selectivity decreases after reaching an optimal Na concentration.

Summary: We report a method for large-scale fabrication of negatively charged Silicon-vacancy (SiV-) centers in diamond membranes using MeV Helium ion implantation. Despite the polycrystalline structure of the diamond membranes, the SiV- centers exhibit a fluorescence lifetime comparable to those fabricated in single crystal diamonds. Patterning of SiV- centers with varying densities is demonstrated using a focused ion beam.

Summary: Using confocal fluorescence microscopy, we observe the charge interconversion process between all three charge states of the silicon vacancy (SiV) center in diamond at room temperature. We uncover the two-step capture process of diffusing, photogenerated holes that leads to the formation of SiV0, and demonstrate the reverse process induced by continuous red illumination. These findings provide insight into the charge dynamics of SiV and hold promise for nanoscale sensing and quantum information processing.

Summary: At the nanoscale, the stability of hexagonal diamond (HD) structure in silicon nanowires is demonstrated, with HD structures being more stable than cubic diamond (CD) structures for effective diameters up to only about 15 nm. Thicker HD nanowires can only be metastable. This contrasts with germanium nanowires, where HD structures are much less likely, with a diameter size limit three times smaller than that of silicon.

Summary: The thermal conductivity of single-crystal CVD diamond doped with nitrogen was measured at temperatures ranging from 5.7 to 410 K. Various optical defects related to impurities were identified and quantified. The diamond showed a high thermal conductivity at room temperature, but its conductivity was significantly suppressed at lower temperatures due to phonon scattering by charge carriers bound to nitrogen-related impurity centers. The measured data were in good agreement with the theoretical calculations based on the Callaway theory.

Summary: Direct laser writing/ultra-hyperdoping technology was used to fabricate a Si-based broadband n-p junction detector with its spectral response controlled by external cooling. Temperature-dependent photoconductivity was observed in a biased n-p junction made of sulfur-ultrahyperdoped Si. The observed broadband photoconductivity is due to the presence of sulfur impurity donor states near the conduction band bottom, supporting the migration of PC maximum with increasing temperature. The high concentration of electrically-active donor sulfur centers in the uh-Si sample enables the fabrication of universal Si detectors with broad spectral response.

Summary: The absorption nonreciprocity in CuB2O4 is studied through high-resolution spectroscopy in the commensurate phase below the antiferromagnetic transition temperature T-N = 21 K and in a magnetic field of 0.5 T. Multiple exciton-magnon-phonon satellites are observed in the spectral region covering several exciton transitions. A quantitative theory is developed, considering the interference between electric and magnetic dipole contributions, to provide an adequate explanation of the absorption and nonreciprocity effects at the 1.4 eV line.
