Quantum properties of point defects - nitrogen vacancy center and the silicon vacancy center (NV and SiV) and charge transport in semiconductors

(2017-2022)

● Built laser confocal microscope/radio frequency electronic systems for nuclear and electronic magnetic resonance of nitrogen vacancy centers: double electron-electron resonance, optically detected magnetic resonance, dynamic decoupling

● Designed and conducted cryogenic experiments detecting photo-carriers in diamond and silicon.

● Microfabricated electrodes on diamond and silicon: photolithography, electron beam metal deposition

● Built Monte Carlo simulations analyzing the efficacy of novel, spin-to-charge storage and readout techniques (MATLAB)

● Built multiphysics simulations of electrons and holes in a Pual Trap (COMSOL) modeling the effects of anisotropy in carrier mass and phono induced drag and Monte Carlo simulation of carrier-phonon scattering as a Brownian process (MATLAB)
