Abstract

This study explores luminescence emission characteristics of fluorine-related color centers in diamond fabricated by ion implantation and subsequent thermal annealing. Photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence, and electroluminescence analysis were performed, revealing distinct emission features in the near-infrared region. In particular, a novel emission line identified at 990 nm is consistent with theoretical predictions for the optical activity of the negatively charged substitutional fluorine color center.
