Summary
DescriptionDiagram for spin dynamics.png
English: Diagram for spin dynamics in the NV$^-$ center on diamond. The primary transition between triplet ground and excited states is predominantly spin conserving. Decay via the intermediate singlets gives rise to spin polarization by preferentially switching spin from $m_s=\pm1$ to $m_s=0$. The absorption and emission wavelengths are indicated, since they differ due to Stokes and anti-Stokes shift \cite{Awschalom2013}. The diagram was mainly inspired in the one published on \cite{Rogers2015
