Diamond Quantum Devices: Surface Termination Characterization and Methods

Diamond quantum devices are being increasingly explored for technological applications, with a common need being quantum defects - such as NV centres - very near to the diamond surface. These surfaces are known to host crystalline defects and a range of crystal termination chemistries, all of which can affect the near-surface defect centres in a variety of ways. In this talk we will present our efforts to quantify these defects, while simultaneously engineering the diamond surface with chemical and electronic functionalities.
