We report the realization of an ultraviolet light–emitting diode with use a diamond pn junction. The junction was formed from boron-doped p-type layer and phosphorus-doped n-type grown epitaxially on {111} surface single crystalline diamond. exhibited good characteristics, at forward bias about 20 volts strong light emission 235 nanometers observed attributed to free exciton recombination.

We report the detection and polarization of nuclear spins in diamond at room temperature by using a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. use Hartmann-Hahn double resonance to coherently enhance signal from spin while decoupling noisy spin-bath, which otherwise limits sensitivity. As proof-of-principle we: (I) observe coherent oscillations between NV center weakly coupled spin, (II) demonstrate bath cooling prolongs coherence time sensor more than factor five. Our results provide route...
Objectives Prevotella copri is considered to be a contributing factor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, some non-Westernised countries, healthy individuals also harbour an abundance of P. the intestine. This study investigated pathogenicity RA patient-derived ( ) compared with control-derived HC ). Methods We obtained 13 P . strains from faeces patients and controls. Following whole genome sequencing, sequences were compared. To analyse arthritis-inducing ability , we examined two...
Abstract Diamond holds the highest figure‐of‐merits among all known semiconductors for next‐generation electronic devices far beyond performance of conventional semiconductor silicon. To realize diamond integrated circuits, both n‐ and p‐channel conductivity are required development complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor (CMOS) devices, as those established However, CMOS has never been achieved due to challenge in n‐type channel MOS field‐effect transistors (MOSFETs). Here, electronic‐grade...

Using a combined ultra-small-angle and small-angle scattering (CSAS) method of neutrons X-rays, we investigated hierarchical structures carbon black (CB) highly loaded in polyisoprene (PI) poly(styrene-random-butadiene) copolymer (SBR) under mechanical field (defined respectively as CB/PI CB/SBR) well toluene sonic CB/toluene). In order to analyze each structure level comprising the CB from CSAS profiles, employed unified Guinier/power-law approach proposed by Beaucage (J. Appl. Cryst. 1995,...
Spins of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV${}^{\ensuremath{-}}$) defects in diamond are among the most promising candidates for solid-state qubits. The fabrication quantum devices containing these spin-carrying requires position-controlled introduction NV${}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ having excellent properties such as spectral stability, a long spin coherence time, and stable negative charge state. Nitrogen ion implantation annealing enable positioning qubits with high precision, but to date,...
