• experimentally in nanodiamonds, such as the lines 1132, 1134, 1140, 1150, and 1240 cm−1 in references [2][4][5][7][8], respectively. These lines all belong partially to the originally distorted bulk diamond line at 1332 cm−1, which appears at different positions in different sizes of nanocrystals. C–H vibrations

The fabrication of silicon–vacancy centers in nanodiamonds by microwave-plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition is discussed in addition. Keywords: CVD diamond doping

• color centers in small nanodiamond crystals with diameters well below the wavelength, guaranteeing an efficient light extraction. Moreover, single nanodiamonds can be implemented into dielectric cavities enhancing the efficiency, as demonstrated in Section 4. We will discuss our approaches to

• SiC [5], nanodiamonds [6], etc. As we can conclude from these works, the highest value of the critical current in the zero magnetic field is Jc ~ 106 A/cm2 in a temperature range of 5–25 K, and the highest value at a magnetic field of 8 T is Jc ~ 104 A/cm2 at 4.2 K; no significant increase was
