Custom quantum diamond coordinates host purity, NV architecture, isotope composition, crystal orientation, geometry, surface chemistry and characterization as one material specification.
Custom quantum diamond is most useful when several parameters must be coordinated at the same time—for example shallow depth with a low-background host, a specific isotope, a {111} surface and defined surface chemistry.
Depth, density, isotope composition, strain, orientation, geometry and surface condition can all influence the final measurement. The material should be designed as a system.
Electronic-grade CVD or HPHT starting material with low unwanted nitrogen and defect background.
Single, shallow, ensemble, patterned array or compact cluster structures according to the experiment.
¹²C enrichment and controlled ¹⁴N / ¹⁵N incorporation for coherence-sensitive or isotope-defined structures.
Orientation, lateral size, thickness, chamfer/bevel, sidewall angle and side polishing can be project-specific.
Ultra-fine polishing, cleaning and hydrogen or oxygen termination for optical, sensing and device requirements.
Requested material and spin characterization can be coordinated with the project specification.
Complete post-growth processing for experiment-ready diamond components—from laser cutting and ultra-precision polishing to orientation control, thinning and micro-scale sample preparation.
Nova supports custom size, shape, orientation and surface preparation while maintaining material quality and tight dimensional control.
Precision cutting for thin plates, membranes, micro-cubes and custom outlines, including subdivision of larger crystals into multiple research samples.
Top, bottom and side polishing for optical- and quantum-grade surfaces. Side faces can also be polished for resonator, maser and device-integration geometries.
