【 摘 要 】

Effective methods to generate colour centres in diamond and other wide band-gap materials are essential to the realisation of solid state quantum technologies based on such systems. Such methods have been the subject of intensive research effort in recent years. In this review, we bring together the various techniques used in the generation and positioning of colour centres in diamond: ion implantation, delta-doping, electron irradiation, laser writing and thermal annealing. We assess the roles and merits of each of these techniques in the formation of colour centres for different quantum technologies and consider future combinations of the techniques to meet the requirements of the most demanding applications.
