Abstract

The NV−⋯N+ charged pair in diamond has been investigated by using a Gaussian-type basis set, the B3LYP functional, the supercell scheme and the CRYSTAL code. It turns out that: (i) when the distance between the two defects is larger than 6–7 Å, the properties of the double defect are the superposition of the properties of the individual defects. (ii) The energy required for the reaction NV0 + Ns → NV− + N+ is roughly −1.3 eV at about 12 Å, irrespective of the basis set and functional adopted, and remains negative at any larger distance. (iii) These results support the observation of a charge transfer mechanism through a Ns → NV0 donation occurring in the ground state, through a tunnelling process, without irradiation. (iv) The IR spectrum of the two subunits is characterized by specific peaks, that might be used as fingerprints. (v) Calculation of electrostatic interaction permitted an estimate of the effective charge of the defects.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
