Spin properties of very shallow nitrogen vacancy defects in diamond

We investigate spin and optical properties of individual nitrogen vacancy centers located within 1-10 nm from the diamond surface. We observe stable defects with a characteristic optically detected magnetic-resonance spectrum down to the lowest depth. We also find a small but systematic spectral bro...
